Package: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.0-nightly
When I attempt to launch "session type" "custom desktop" "CINNAMON", I get this error dialog: Failed to load session "Cinnamon2d" http://imgur.com/VQ0A1si
I emailed bug report 150 a bunch of details about Cinnamon 1.4 and my test setup, but those details are not showing up on bug report 150. So I am copying them (and made minor updates) below:
Clearly the problem is that x2goruncommand has incorrect logic for launching this version of Cinnamon, 1.4.
Remember that this version of CInnamon, on this version of Linux Mint, is supported through April 2017.
Version 1.4 is probably used on other distros too.
I have the GLX extension enabled on my test system (/etc/x2go/x2goagent.options has the line to disable GLX commented out)
- Linux mint 13 maya (based on Ubuntu 12.04 precise) 64-bit
- All latest level 1, 2 and 3 OS updates installed.
- cinnamon version: 1.4-UP3
- Cusstom Desktop specified in x2goclient: gnome-session-cinnamon
- x2goserver & x2goserver-xsession: 4.1.0.0-0~1054~ubuntu12.04.1
- nxagent & x2goagent: 2:3.5.0.28-0~448~ubuntu12.04.1

Can you provide a patch for x2goruncommand? Probably for x2goserver on
release/4.0.1.x branch?

Yes, I plan to do so.
1st, I've been brainstorming what logic to implement for different versions of Cinnamon. For example, do I run apt or yum commands to check what version is installed? There are other packaging systems too.
I think what is best is to run the 2D cinnamon session scripts in order from newest to latest, if they exist. This will be a simple script I can write quickly.
2.0 & 2.2: cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d 1.6 & 1.8: gnome-session-cinnamon2d 1.4: gnome-session-cinnamon
I determined the versions' commands by browsing the .deb contents under here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/c/cinnamon/
Do I still need to export DESKTOP_SESSION before calling the scripts? Those scripts do not export it, but x2goruncommand exports it before calling gnome-session.

Correction: in order from newest to oldest
