Thank you Mike and Steve B.

Steve B. yes Ctrl - Alt - F works in my case and then Alt tab only switches the programs on the server side. This is what i wanted.

However, Ctrl - Alt - F in my case covers both of my screens (laptop and external monitor) and become a xinerama view even though this option is not selected in my session preferences in the x2goclient.

Furthermore, coming back from full screen makes X2Go session window non-usable; there is a group of windows that are frozen. So, my only approach after coming back from full screen is to suspend the session and then try to reconnect.

So, how can I

* go to full screen by covering only one of my screens

* come back from full screen in a normal way

thanks again in advance

ps I use XFCE on my client and server -- both are wheezy)

I have one major problem with using X2Go, which is such a wonderful piece of
software. No matter what I did, I could not get it to understand Alt-Tab for
switching windows. Some say using Ctrl - Alt - K works but it has no effect.

I don't seem to have the original post beyond what is quoted. But Alt-Tab works perfectly fine for me on the Linux client:

X2Go Client V. 4.0.2.0 (Qt - 4.8.2)

in full-screen mode under MATE 1.8.0 on Debian Wheezy. In windowed mode, my local MATE desktop intercepts the Alt-Tab. (CTRL-ALT-F toggles between full-screen and windowed modes.)
