Sorry for confusion - now I recognise that the shortcut X2GO~1 is
actually .x2go directory.

However, the file is not there and according to post:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-dev/2009-July/000068.html

it even should not be there since a pipe is used from version 3.01-2 of
the client.

I tried also the older version of the client (3.00-1) and voila - I can
connect just fine.

The weakness is that the password is stored in plain text during opening
the x2go session...

I would assume that due to restrictions on my work machine, the pipes
may not work as expected. This should be considered for the planned usb
portable version of the client.

Otherwise, thanks for the great software!
