Hi Alex, hi all,
I have started documenting the versatile session profile options of
X2Go Client and Python X2Go (as found in ~/.x2goclient/sessions).
@Alex: Could you please proof-read this wiki page and fix+change+amend? http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:sessions-file
Thanks, Mike

<snip> Thanks for documenting these, Mike; I read them with great interest. Toward the end, you write, "Setting the command to RDP will turn X2Go into an RDP proxy (RDP via NX). RDP will receive a peformance improvement on WAN connections"
In our experience, this is true for RDP5 but it significantly degrades the native performance of RDP6 and RDP7. For those wishing to use RDP6 or 7 with Windows XP, TSPlus (www.tsplus.net) makes an XP RDP6/7 client and distributes it freely.
I would love to see mimebox included in x2goclient. I know we had planned to write a "multimedia player" to automatically redirect to mimebox similar to the way printing works but have not gotten around to it - still overwhelmed by a large consulting contract completely outside of X2Go :( Thanks again - John

If this ever happens, please make sure that it's a server-side feature that can be turned on or off e.g. by group membership or by some sort of config file option, preferably separate from printing.
There is a degree of security involved here - if it's too easy for a user to pass files between host and client, or if this even happens automatically behind the user's back, bad (TM) things can happen.
I prefer it the way that a user has to willingly and knowingly decide that a file is to be transferred between host and client.
While I do see that there are usage scenarios where security isn't an issue and such a mimebox/multimedia player thing might be neat, please leave the decision to the server administrator and not the user.

The MIME box is also based on SSHFS, so you need fuse group membership
to use it. If you do not want file transfer between server and client,
leave the fuse group empty.

Could you be so kind and add your experience to the wiki page? Thanks a lot!
