[X2go-dev] Plugin Sources?!

[Jörg Sawatzki]

Hi Heinz,

thx for your answer - I somehow thought it must be more code than these
7.9 kb in plugin.cpp!
But it seems that it just forks a new x2goclient process with some
undocumented command line options as well as a temporary cfg file and
embeds it into the browser window. No secret magic behind it, it
seems ;)

Concerning the legal stuff: I'd register the name X2go as a trademark -
in Germany that is easily done through www.dpms.de...
