Dear all,
I'm new to X2Go having used FreeNX previously. I've installed x2goserver on Ubuntu 16.04 server from ppa:x2go/stable, and can start published applications successfully. However, I didn't install any window or desktop manager, since I don't think my clients will need it. Neither did I install any bindings. I wonder, what features do I lose this way?
Particularly, neither local printing nor shared folders seem to work (tested from Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 stock client), can this be related, or is it a separate problem? Directory ~/media/disk exists, but it is empty; and only "Print to File" is available in remote Firefox. If window/desktop manager is needed, which should I install to handle just this problem? Do I need bindings package too?
(I'd prefer not to have unnecessary packages on my server to avoid frequent security updates.)

I don't understand how you expect this to work without a Windowmanager? Mate works well with x2go on a wide variety of Linux distributions. It currently is broken on Fedora 26.

Well, it works somehow, that's why I'm asking. I cannot open remote desktop obviously, but I can start applications using Published Applications feature without any problems (at least for xterm and firefox).
