I have reverted the server-side changes in x2gostartagent. Instead, I  
have changed x2gostartagent in a way that it will check for the  
x2gofeature X2GO_FEATURE_SESSIONTITLE and if that is available it will  
call a subscript.

This feature X2GO_FEATURE_SESSIONTITL and the corresponding subscript  
,,x2gosessiontitle'' are part of a new extension package I have added  
to x2goserver and called: x2goserver-pyhoca, an add-on package to  
improve functionality of pyhoca-gui and pyhoca-cli. This package will  
only be suggested by the core x2goserver package, so it will not be  
installed if people do not actively select it for installation.

This package currently contains two scripts only used by pyhoca:

   x2gosessiontitle
   x2gosetkeyboard

The x2gosessiontitle subscript will then only generate a custom  
session title if the env var X2GO_FEATURE_SESSIONTITLE is set to  
,,enabled''. This has to be done from the client when launching  
x2gostartagent.

I hope this approach allows us to keep the session title functionality  
and stay also compatible with old client implementations and between  
pyhoca and x2goclient.

Let me know what you think,
Mike
