I ran some tests from Windows and Ubuntu trying to start Unity and LXDE sessions on Ubuntu 12.04. The findings:
- LXDE and x2go work OK.
- Unity is IMO close to unusable with x2go.
Setup: Ubuntu 12.04 with x2goclient 4.0.0.4, x2goserver 4.0.0.0-0~640~precise1 Windows 7 with x2goclient 4.0.0.3.
Unity Open (Linux/Windows): The window is resized to fullscreen during session startup, completely ignoring whatever resolution I might have chosen in the settings. Resize(Linux/Windows): Resizing the Unity window does not work, e.g. the window size changes but the content "does not get it".
LXDE Open (Linux): Works correctly. Open (Windows): The client window is too small for the content. Presumably [0]. Resize (Linux/Windows): When resizing the client window, the taskbar is "forgotten". It just stays where it is while the rest is resized. I can trigger the taskbars resize reliably when I open a new window or move the mouse over buttons on the taskbar that change their appearance on mouseover.

Hi Christoph,

Please edit /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options. By default the Xserver
extension XFIXES is disabled in x2goagent. Disabling is good for KDE
4.8+ in Ubuntu, but not so good for Unity (12.04 only). Re-enable
XFIXES and then resizing should work a little better, still not
perfect, though.
I have observed this issue, too, but the problem is buried somewhere
in LXDE and libs. As the problem is really minor, everyone seems to
have it ignored, so far.

This mostly fixes the issue, thanks. But for some reason, when selecting Unity as the session type I don't get a top menu and the windows inside the session lack their decoration. Using a custom session with "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" gets me the expected behaviour.
Can I do the above configuration change in a way that doesn't involve changing a conffile and thus having to deal with a conflict on package updates?
