Hi everyone,
it seems that there is no obvious keyboard shortcut to open a window's menu (the one that appears when you click on the upper left corner of a window) when running X2Go in rootless (PubApp) mode on a Microsoft Windows client.
So, is there one that just isn't obvious, or is there none at all?
The problem I'm having is that from time to time, Adobe Reader thinks it's funny to pop up a print dialog window that is partially off-screen
- including its title bar! Thus, there's no way to grab it with the mouse to reposition it. Right-clicking the entry in the task bar only offers an option to close the window, so no luck there either.

Here's a bit offtopic answer but that's the solution that I use. There are many implementations of Alt+mouse window moving trick for MS Windows. Choose the one that you like (or write one more, AutoIt/AutoHotKey are waiting for you) and enjoy X11-like user experience.
Hm, after that I have an idea: it would be nice to have such option in XMing/vcxsrv (if they don't have one yet).

I'm not quite sure if I'm not getting what you're trying to say, or if you didn't get what my problem is.
Fact is, there is NO obvious keyboard command that grabs the print dialog of Adobe Reader (Linux) being displayed via X2Go on Microsoft Windows. And yes, X2Go on Windows is using vcxsrv.
There's also no way of using any of the usual methods known from Linux (Alt+Mouse or any of the Gnome/KDE keyboard shortcuts).
The damn window only responds to "close" commands, nothing else.
On a regular application running on Microsoft Windows, I would just hit Alt+Space, ArrowDown, Enter and I would be able to move the window with the arrow keys. But it seems that vcxsrv doesn't support that, and neither does it pass through the Linux methods of doing that.

Try "g alt+mouse move ms windows" (Opera-style way of fast search) and you'll find plenty of small utilites that implement such functionality
- information how to implement it on your own ( z.B. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3100711/move-a-window-on-keypress-mouse-l... ).
Currently I'm using "MoveInactiveWin.exe" utility ( IIRC I've downloaded it here: www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/ ) but may be you won't trust this piece of obfuscated code and want smth better ( z.B. https://code.google.com/p/altdrag/ ). I agree that this is a _workaround_ (as we still don't have the thing that's working out-of-the-box) and real solution would be to write and include such code in vcxsrv or implement some helper program (with this function) as a part of x2go distribution.

Having to install an add-on tool doesn't qualify as "any of the usual methods", IMHO.

I am kind of surprised (in a negative way) and disappointed that there seems to be no native way of sending an equivalent of Alt+Spacebar to the Window. Because once you are able to *click* on the icon in the upper left corner of the window, you can go on just like with any regular Microsoft Windows window: Push ArrowDown until you're at the "Move" item, hit enter, move window with arrow keys, hit Enter again to position it there. Makes me wonder if I'm just too stupid to find the proper key combination or if there's a bug blocking that Alt+Spacebar keycode (since after "emulating" that with a mouse click, it works "the windows way", so it's not like the entire functionality is missing).
