[X2Go-Dev] GNOME vs. Unity on Ubuntu precise

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi all,

with Ubuntu precise launching an X2Go session named ,,GNOME'' results  
in a UNITY-2D desktop session.

First thing: it is nice to have Unity available via X2Go.

Second thing: it is a PITA that starting ,,gnome-session'' ends up  
with the UNITY shell. If we say GNOME in the client we should end up  
with GNOME(3).

@devs:
------
Currently, the client-side translates the session profile <command>  
(GNOME, KDE, ...) into the server-side command (gnome-session,  
startkde). For single applications this translation is done within  
x2goruncommand.

I would like to suggest to move this translation into x2goruncommand  
completely. Allowing the server-side to detect what actual command has  
to be executed for ,,GNOME'' or ,,KDE'' or <OTHER> will be much more  
handy than making the client-side aware of the server's operating  
system, shell, Xsession files, etc.

Your opinions, please!!!

Greets,
Mike
