[X2Go-User] Newbie question - cannot get desktop bindings to work on Ubuntu 14.04

Have installed x2go latest version on Ubuntu 14.04 basic server (runs as a VM in XenServer). Using Windows client to connect to the session, and it works fine.

However, I do not see the folders which are (apparently) meant to show up allowing to access the desktop of the computer from which I start the session. I guess this is what is meant by "desktop bindings", although it's not at all clear in the documentation. Tried to start from Windows 7 and also from XP, no luck either way.

I have now tried the 2 desktop environments for which a desktop binding install exists, both of which allow me to start a session, but none of them do any desktop binding: LXDE, MATE.

What could go wrong here?
