[X2Go-Dev] Windows X2Go client: strange entry in settings file/registry

Hi,

I'm seeing the following on Windows:

.x2goclient\settings and the corresponding registry key 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Obviously Nice\x2goclient\settings contain

"xexec=C:\\program files\\vcxsrv\\vcxsrv.exe"

What's weird about this is that vcxsrv is not stored there, as I'm 
running the client from a mapped network drive.
The vcxserv directory under C:\Program Files doesn't exist, and an 
ordinary user doesn't have write permissions there, so if x2goclient 
would create this folder during its run, it should display the UAC 
prompt, which it doesn't - so I think it is safe to assume that it 
doesn't attempt to create this folder.

So what is this entry good for?

-Stefan
