[X2go-dev] Windows fullscreen and clipboard parameters not passed

Hello, all.  I'm working on the problem where Windows clients do not
honor the full screen setting nor pass clipboard information.  I noticed
in the thread which starts the Windows Xming server, void
ONMainWindow::startXOrg (), that the Xming parameters appear to be hard
set:

	args<<dispString<<"-multiwindow"<<"-notrayicon"<<
	"-logfile"<<xorgLogFile;
	xorg=new QProcess ( 0 );
	xorg-> setWorkingDirectory ( appDir+"\\xming" );
	xorg->setEnvironment ( env );
	xorg->start ( appDir+"\\xming\\Xming.exe",args );

Before try to generate a patch to add -clipboard as a fixed setting and
read the screen parameters from the settings file, I thought I should
as, why do we not pass -clipboard and why do we not read the screen
settings already? I certainly wouldn't want to waste any time if we
already know -clipboard and either -rootless or -fullscreen are really
bad ideas.

If there are not reasons why this is not done, I can try to work on a
patch tomorrow.  I'm very unfamiliar with Qt on Windows (and am barely
functional running it in KDevelop in Linux!).  How does one normally
build in Windows? Thanks - John
