Awesome Alex, but not quite there yet unfortunately. I am seeing huge screen corruption when in multiwindow mode, which I was not seeing with the previous version of x2go (3.01-14libssh). I will download the source and see how the xserver is being called. Minification of the x2go screen once the xserver starts is fantastic! :D I do not think we are far off; just need to polish some of the edges.

I doff my cap to you; superb work as normal.

Thanks,

Phil
