Hello, I am testing out X2go with Ubuntu 10.10. Everything works great and we are leaning towards rolling this out to our entire development organization if we can solve a few outstanding issues. Right now, the biggest one we're facing is that whenever I type 'd' it hides all open applications and shows my desktop. Every other key seems to work just fine, as does sessions suspend/resume, audio, performance, etc. but obviously this is still unusable to us with the 'd' key being unavailable. I have tested this on the Linux, Mac, and Windows X2go clients and this is only the behavior on the Linux and Mac clients, not on the Windows client - the 'd' key works fine on Windows x2go client. Any thoughts?
FWIW, On Ubuntu 9.10 using x2go, I don't have this issue with Mac/Linux clients. However, we don't want to confine ourselves to 9.10 by choosing x2go.
Thanks, Neil

That's really weird. It sounds like the <alt><ctl> is stuck. <alt><ctl>d is the magic key sequence to minimize all windows and expose the desktop. I have no idea why that would be a problem in 10.10 and not 9.10 - John

About the only time I've seen that type of problem is when using a KVM switch in the server room to access the consoles. Sometimes the keys like Shift/Ctrl/Alt can get 'stuck' on. Other than that we haven't seen this problem with Ubuntu but we're using 10.04 not 10.10.

I had this problem with 10.10 as well, and discovered the Keyboard Shortcuts had the D key mapped to an action. I disabled that action (Hide all normal windows...), and everything was fine after that.
Are there instructions for installing x2go under Maverick? I have had a world of problems with freenx, and would like to change over.

Hello Neil,
we don't have the possibility to test the mac client at the moment (as Alex's macbook was stolen). I started to test Ubuntu 10.10 some days before - I think I can't reproduce this issue. Which version of macos are you using?
best regards,
Heinz
