Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.2.0

I'm using both PuTTY 0.61 and x2goclient in Windows 7, using SSH
private key with pass-phrase. When I leave "Use RSA/DSA key for ssh connection" blank and select
"Try auto login (...)", x2goclient connects using SSH key in pageant
and connects well, but when I forget booting pageant, x2goclient
asks for pass-phrase (of what?) and I cannot login.

In order to prevent the latter scenario, I provided path for private
key (in OpenSSH format, not in .ppk file in PuTTY), leaving "Try
auto login" check box checked. In this case, x2goclient always asks the pass-phrase of the key and
don't try using key in pageant. After providing the pass-phrase, x2goclient works fine, but typing
pass-phrase many times is annoying.

Is it possible to configure x2goclient to use pageant first and
specified SSH key as fall back?

Best regards,

this surely makes sense, but the current implementation of SSH
authentication in X2Go Client does not handle things the way you
suggest.

Marking your issue as a wishlist bug for now...

@mikedep333: Note that this issue is not a Windows-only issue. The
same behaviour can be observed on Linux with ssh-agent and a
non-default SSH privkey file location.

Greets, Mike
