Hi list,

I'm currently experimenting with x2goclient 3.99.2.2 on Mac OS X and this is what I've found "weird/fix-worthy" so far:

1. PulseAudio stutters (just like it does in the current MS-Windows client)
2. when x2goclient is called with "--hide", there is no way to access the "Published Applications" menu 2.1) there is no way to start published applications from the dock (compare right-click on systray icon on MS-Windows) 2.2) there also is no way to start published applications from the x2goclient menu on the upper screen border

Re: 1) I'm not sure what we can do about this; it seems Mihai's attempts to make the PulseAudio developers aware of the issues have failed. :-(

The other issues look like they could be fixed by the x2go-devs, though, so I'm posting my suggestions here:

Re: 2) "--hide", on Windows (and probably also on Linux, though I never checked it there), means "hide-to-systray", so parts of the application remain accessible via right-click (context menu).

It is not quite correct. This option is for single applications, which should look for user as running on local system. It should be used with passwordless setup and link on desktop. The user should not see x2goclient window at all. "Minimize to tray" is other feature and it configured from "Configuration" dialog in X2Go client.

I guess a sensible action on Mac OS, when "--hide" is used, would be to do a "minimize" by going straight to the Dock on startup, but, upon clicking the Dock icon, show the usual screen (just like after un-minimizing any other app). This is under the assumption that "2.1)" simply doesn't work on Mac OS. An alternative would be to remain "hidden", i.e. without a visible window on screen, and offering a pull-down menu with all published applications on the top menu bar ("2.2)").

Now, before anyone starts coding away on this, I'd like to see some feedback from the Mac users here: a) Where do you expect to find a list of published applications? b) Is there a UI styleguide by Apple that says this must/must not/should/should not be done in a particular way?

once you are sure if something is an X2Go bug or not, please send a mail to

To: submit@bugs.x2go.org Subject: some proper description of your issue Body: Package: x2goclient Version: 3.99.2.2 Severity: minor

<describe the issue here>

IMPORTANT: please post one issue per bug report, so that we can do the
house-keeping properly.

Thanks, Mike
