Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.2.1-pre01
Hi,
x2goclient for Windows up to 4.0.0.3 used to look "frozen" for a fraction of a second during startup.
With 4.0.2.0, that annoying effect was suddenly gone, possibly due to the change to the new pulseaudio version. It is also not present in the nightlies up until 2014-06-11.
4.0.2.1-pre01 now exhibits a similar, slightly annoying behavior:
When run by double-click from a folder view, it displays an "arrow and hourglass" cursor on Windows 7 x64 for approximately 5 seconds during startup.
It does not happen when the same x2goclient.exe is run from the commandline. There, response is instantaneous like in 4.0.2.0 and in the nightlies up to 2014-06-11.
I have no explanation for that effect, but maybe one of our devs can shed some light on this?

To either confirm or rule out that Alex' recent changes to x2goclient introduced this behavior, Mike#2 has agreed to provide a special test build of x2goclient with
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=76777fca627f287f8d72...
(Alex' change that broke the nightlies) and
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=093543e62d00d8b0dcfb... (Alex' fix to make the nightlies work again)
removed.
If this fixes the issue, Mike#1 has already announced that he will revert those changes from the code for the 4.0.2.1 release.
I volunteer as a tribute, err, as a guinea pig for the test build.

Okay, Mike#2 provided the build (http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/previews/4.0.2.1/x2goc...), I tested it, bug is gone. So we have identified the two commits that introduced it.
@Mike#1: previous offer to do so.
- Please remove them from the official tree for 4.0.2.1, as per your
- Please discuss the proper way to re-introduce them in a way that doesn't influence startup time negatively with Alex and possibly Mihai. Mihai seemed to have a few suggestions as to how to solve the issue - me being anything but a C/C++ expert, I can't comment on their quality, though my gut feeling is that he may be right - after all, he has proven to be an able coder previously (Cowbytes and Endians ...).
