Hi!
When the x2goclient connects to a server with published applications, the user has to click on the icon in the session window to open the list of published applications. Is there a way to automatically open up the menu of the published applications after a successfull connection?
Actually, I've been quite happy to have that darn menu out of the way, so I've set my configuration to immediately minimize to the taskbar/systray. ;-) I prefer the right-click-to-start approach similar to the local start menu. If you want to try it out: tray", and check all the boxes within that frame, too.
- ->Options/Settings, "General" tab, check "Display icon in system
Since you're sending your mail from a .ch domain - in case you are using a German-Language environment, the names are: Einstellungen/Konfiguration, Reiter "Allgemein", "Symbol im Systemabschnitt der Kontrolleiste anzeigen".
Also, note that there is a way to start one application immediately after the connection is established in Published Application Mode. Maybe you can use that as a workaround for your use case?
I.e. my customers use this to start the web browser immediately upon connect, and when they need access to another application, they select it from the context menu of the taskbar/systray icon.
Add --autostart=nameofprogram to the command line/shortcut for that.

PS: There will be an X2Go demo at the IBM campus in Zurich, Switzerland in June. If that's close to your location, feel free to stop by (admission is free, but registration is required, contact me off-list for details).

Thanks for your mail. I understand your point with the minimized window. But I wanted to present an obvious immediately visible menu to our less experienced end-users in order to avoid missunderstanding, and minimizing the need for a documentation and training in how to start a remote application. In this case I can imagine that the command line approach to start a single application could be an option. On the other side we also have more advanced users, who would use more applications and also wants to start a desktop environment. However if there would be a way to force the application menu to pop-up uppon connection, would be the easyiest way for me.
Well, in that case, you should file a wishlist bug. Send an e-mail to submit@bugs.x2go.org
first two lines of your message must look like this: package: x2goclient severity: wishlist
Make sure to leave a blank line after these two lines. Then describe your wish.
After that, you can either:
- hope that someone will add the feature (no promises re: time frame)
- submit a patch yourself
- pay someone to add the feature within a certain time frame
Thanks for the tip regarding the Linux on Power IBM meeting in Zürich, I am considering to visit the event.
You're welcome. :-)
