Since this is a show stopper for us we're considering developing this ourself and contributing this functionality to the project. Is the source of the latest Windows client available somewhere so we can have a look at it?

I'm not entirely sure but I believe a zip of the source is available
here:

I had started looking into the change you are looking for and it seems
trivial.  The Xming parameters are hard coded and do not include
--clipboard nor do they honor --fullscreen.  I had started to work on a
patch but I do not have a good Windows development environment and the
source failed to compile for me before making any changes - something
about a GUI event being called in a thread (I believe Qt GUI events can
only be called from the main thread and subordinate threads need to
trigger an event in the main thread to alter the GUI).  I have not had
the time to track it down.

I believe I heard that the fullscreen problem is fixed in the next X2Go
release.  I do not know if the clipboard issue is.  I would be very
interested in a fix for both issues.  Good luck - John
