I have further looked on git on the x2go*bindings and it seems that the
default file manager for handling the shared (sshfs) mounted directory
is hardcoded - i.e. nautilus for GNOME, pcmanfm for LXDE.

How about using xdg-open for that? While it might make sense to expect
that GNOME users have nautilus installed, users of less-fat environments
usually prefer various file managers (thunar, pcmanfm) and not
neccessarily the default one.

I tried to edit /usr/bin/x2gopcmanfm and replace the command:

system( "pcmanfm $dir" );

with

system( "xdg-open $dir" );

and it seems to work just fine.

What do you think?

(If it is fine, then the command could actually be named more
neutrally, like x2gofilemanager and also the corresponding
x2gofilemanager.desktop file and also the definition of mime type 
sshfs-x2go.xml - which would lead to unification of the code across
desktop environments.)


regards,
Milan
