I agree with you fully that X2go should be AD compliant. I remember  
your posting, but have to look at it in detail again. I guess the  
problem should be rather easy to figure out.

However, I am currently so full with contracts, I will not have time  
before end of April or so to do it in spare time...

If I understand you correctly, you also seem to be asking for some  
sort of consultancy work. In a business context there might be an  
earlier appointment feasible.

Also: as I read that you have a computer science mail address  
(informatik.hu-berlin.de), if you have people around to track the  
issue down, we will be happy to include patches in upstream X2go.

Thanks and greets,
Mike
