Err, the "system-wide" is currently hardcoded in the binary. Do you
want to source additionally from some file in
/etc/x2goserver/applications? What file should have precedence, the
system-wide file or the file in the user home? And why?

Where is the specification/documentation for that? What would be the
best place for this configuration setting?

For instance X2GO_DEFAULT_APP_WWWBROWSER?

Isn't that a bit too verbose?
