Hi dear, Fellows.
i've been working with x2go for some time, but now i'm entrenched with KDE4 after many years with KDE3 running great with nomachine.
KDE4 is still a mess nowadays.
As anybody knows KDE4 has lots of problems with sizing and resizing of plasma panels, screen geometry and other stuff as usal.
So i had to code lots of scripts that take use of x2goserver-run-extensions: What these scripts do is resize the plasma-panel and resize the screen geometry when resuming a session in case of the resuming is done in another Desktop or laptop with a change in resolution.
My problem is that for plasma to assume the new resolution you have to kill it and start-it once again after you change plasma-desktop-appletsrc with the new values. So, when you do this after resuming the session, every time you move/maximize/minimize a window they slow to a crawl.
How to test/reproduce this sympton.
If you have a x2goserver installed with a kde4 session, kubuntu or other, start a session, go to konsole and do:
kquitapp plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop &
after plasma start if you try to move any window around everything will be allright and fast as before.
After that do the same thing but after a x2gosuspend and in a runing resumed
session try to move your konsole window around the desktop, it will lag like
hell.
If you this on a real display on your laptop, or in a running session
everything will run fast as before.
P.S: i'm sending this same email to both user & dev mailing list.
Lab enviroment: Kubuntu 12.10 daily, kde 4.9.2
Best regards,

Hi Helmer,
I tested on KDE4 (4.8.4, Debian sid).

Same with GNOME3 btw.

Please send the scripts to the x2go-dev list. Note: resizing of a
plasma desktop works fine in KDE4 on Debian wheezy/sid.

ahaaaa... this is not so here... Note: there is quite a big difference
between the Ubuntu KDE4 and the Debian KDE4. Ubuntu has (at least one)
xrandr patches that break KDE4 nearly completely with X2Go (KWin
crashes regularly).

Not so here on Debian. It must be some Ubuntu specific issue.

After 14 years of using Konqueror, KMail, and KDE exclusively on all my machines, I have finally given up on it. Too many things wrong, too many things it lacks, and virtually no progress. I am now moving to XFCE (which will be Debian's default desktop in Debian 7).

You don't have to exclusively use Konqueror and KMail because your using KDE. Chrome and Thunderbird integrates fine. You will miss Dolphin :-)
Of course if you'r using Debian Stable(/OLD) then you are using KDE 4.4 and thus missing out on 2½ years of polish.
