in /usr/bin/x2goruncommand, there is the mapping between "KDE" and the  
command to be executed.

Can you fiddle on a patch that makes x2goruncommand work again with  
your plasma/kde setup? If so, could you provide your patch?

Thanks+Greets,
Mike

I looked into x2goruncommand for the mapping. The mapping in this case is without effect
because it maps desktop-environments to commands but the parameters given to x2goruncommand don't show KDE.
Instead x2goruncommand receives startkde directly (from where ever).
Custom desktop with startplasma-x11 starts the session (because $cmd is set to startplasma-x11) and 
passes till the end. But obviously not using the clients display parameters (seems to use the servers
display parameters.
Client W10, server Opensuse tumbleweed.
Hope I made no mistakes and it helps.
Thanks
Lutz
