ping@Alex: are you aware of the above??? Can this be confirmed by
anyone else using the X2Go windows client?
Thanks Mike

That was me, not Sullivan. And that bug exists on all versions of the Windows client that I have tried (which is nearly all of them).
But if I had to pick a Windows client bug to fix before any of the others, that would not be the one. The bug that causes the most problems for me is the one that started after 3.01-13, which makes video playback freeze sometimes (almost always with youtube.com videos).

By the way, there is a workaround for this problem. In my case, I have a 1920x1200 monitor connected to my Windows computer, but I do not want to use x2go client in fullscreen mode. I want the x2go window to be as big as it can be without covering up the Windows taskbar.
So what I do is set a custom resolution of 1910x1140. Then when x2go client opens the window, it is too small to display a 1910x1140 desktop (which is what x2go client starts up). The easy way to see the problem is to open a terminal window, then hit the fullscreen icon at the top right of the terminal window that you just opened. Then hold down return until the terminal window fills up. Then hit return a couple more times, and type something. You will find that you command line prompt is below the bottom of the x2go client window, and you cannot see what you are typing.
Anyway, the workaround is to immediately resize the x2go window larger after you first log on. In my case, it is easy -- I just click the fullscreen icon in the top-right of the windows x2go client window.

Same here - X2Go 3.99.0.4, Windows XP. The workaround (resizing the client window back and forth) solves the problem.
(Server is arch linux, xfce4)
