Hi Walid,
yes, currently I use a "MATE" session, because I can configure it more flexible. But the "Local desktop" session sometimes could be useful, when I worked on the console of the Ubuntu host and forgot to save my work before going home. Then I could use the "Local desktop" session to save the unsaved work. And sometimes there are things, which couldn't be saved in their actual state and must be worked on before saving. So the "Local desktop" session could be very useful to complete and save this work.
With RDP I could connect to an actual running Windows session (on the same working PC with two screens). All the Windows opened at work remained opened, and I could continue my work, as if I sat before the console. The RDP Window can be configured as large as the two screens are. On my single screen at home it displays scroll bars, so I can scroll to each edge. So if the full screen of X2go had scroll bars, instead of compressing its content, the "Local desktop" session could be much more useful.

Hi,
Do you really need desktop sharing (aka "see what you see on your opened local session on your remote computer") or do you just need to open a session on the remote machine the Windows RDP way (contrary to the TeamViewer/VNC way) ? If so, you'll get far better performances and comfort opening a "MATE" session instead of a "Local desktop" session from your X2Go client.

Hi all, on my working PC there is running Ubuntu 16.04 with MATE Desktop (isn't the same as Ubuntu MATE, right?) and a X2go Server with Desktop Sharing extension. On my home PC with Windows 10 I have installed the X2go Client and inside it configured a session connecting to the Ubuntu host according to https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:usage:desktop-sharing . The connection is successful, but there are some issues:
1. The Ubuntu host's desktop is spread over two 4/3 screens. But The Windows PC only has one screen with 1680x1050 Pixels. So the display from the Ubuntu host is highly horizontally compressed, so that the texts are nearly unreadable. OK, this behaviour is documented, but is there a way to get it more readable? 2. If I (to solve the above issue) switch to something other than full screen mode in the session settings, the session crashes, when started. I have to close and restart the X2go Client. And then with settings set back to full screen mode the session runs again. Is there a way to avoid the crash without full screen mode? 3. In full screen mode I cannot see any mouse cursor. So hitting any user elements inside or on the windows inside the display from the Ubuntu host is very difficult, since they are reduced to half the width. Is there a way to see a mouse cursor? Or is this due to the compressed display? 4. Since mouse using is so difficult, I tried to close the windows from the Ubuntu host by pressing <Alt><F4>. But then I get a question from X2go to close the session. Is there a way to propagate key combinitions like <Alt><F4> to the remote host?Sincerely tkansgar
