Hi list,
Thanks for the replies. They are helpful.
To explain a little further:
We have a Linux application written in wxPython with Postgresql and (mostly) Windows clients.
Goglobal gives us the possibility to export a file to the client and subsequently start the file. The mime type of the file determines which program is started on the client.
In the client a trigger should start the application with the file that is passed. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Paul van der Vlis <paul@vandervlis.nl> Verzonden: za 19-06-10 22:14:25 Aan: x2go-dev@lists.berlios.de; Onderwerp: Re: [X2go-dev] Extra functions requested in x2go

Hi List,
First of all,I am very impressed by the work you have done and would like to thank all involved.
We are a company that provides a kind of CRM system over the net to our customers. (See www.lindix.nl, text is Dutch)
Currently we use GoGlobal but we want to switch to x2go. However, there is a missing piece. In GoGlobal it is possible to start an application on the client by the use of the extension of the file. So I can write an Excel sheet in my application and subsequently start the file, the result is that a local session opens on the client with the Excel sheet.
I know GoGlobal but I don't understand your question completely. Are you talking about a Windows client what shows a Linux application? Or are you using GoGlobal for a Windows application in a Linux environment?
I realize that there are security issues here, but for our application this would be a real bonus.
Is there any chance this could be implemented? If the number of hours involved is reasonable, we even would pay for that.
I am sure Heinz or Oleksandr can help you if you want to pay something for development of OSS.
But I wonder this is a problem, maybe you can tell a bit more about it. Normally you can do this kind of things with a .desktop-file in /usr/share/applications.
There are some problems with the latest openoffice from backports, this command will help:
update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications
This is not X2go related.
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.

Obviously there is a reason but, for example, why would you call X2Go rather than Excel or OOCalc to open a spreadsheet? Is it because the client is very limited and so, in effect, you want to do application publishing? Thanks - John

I think you should talk to Heinz or Oleksandr. Maybe they have time to develop something like this.
Another way would be is to develop this yourself and to ask Heinz and Oleksandr to add it to X2go.
I've heard on Linuxtag they are making a git repository to make it more easy to work together.
I don't think it's really difficult to add.
With regards. Paul van der Vlis.
