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

[Helmer Teles]

Hi,

i guess that x2goclient executes vcxserver using a relative path and ignores 
completly that entry.

If you specify to use a specif xserver than it will look at that reg entry.

Regkey that allow you to change xserver.
('useintx','true')
