[X2go-dev] Copy and Paste from Windows to x2go-LInux-Firefox (and other?)

[stephan diehl - open solutions gmbh & co. kg]

Dear List,

thank you for this question. I have this issue since several month with windows -> xming(firefox) and found no solution. This is no x2go specific problem. If there is any x-selection and clipboard professional, please help ;-)

Best regards,

Stephan Diehl
