Hi people!
I've installed x2go on a server i'm configuring anda i'm impressed in how good it works!
I would like to have all applications on my Published Applications menu on the top level, but can't figure how! I've tried to copy the .menu file to the /etc/xdg folder but it didn't changed a thing! It seems only to use default categories from freedesktop.
Is it a hard coded feature or there is a file to change its layout?
Thank you!
Gabriel Fonseca.

You need to replace /etc/x2go/applications, which is a symlink (pointing to /usr/share/applications) by default, with an actual folder.
Copy all *.desktop files (or only those belonging to applications you wish to publish via X2Go) from /usr/share/applications to that newly-created folder, then, in each *.desktop file, change the line starting with "Categories=" to "Categories=X2Go-Top".
Note that you will have to repeat this process whenever the content of one of the original *.desktop files changes, or your entries will be out of sync.
The folder /etc/xdg has nothing to do with this. Only /usr/share/applications and /etc/x2go/applications are relevant for what you intend to do.
