Uh, no. "Works for me" when it wasn't designed for it isn't a suitable 
base for a commercial deployment. I'm not taking any chances here. 
There's just too much involved that may make it work on my system, yet 
break at the customers' sites.
If Alex says it *should* work, from his knowedge and understanding of 
x2goclients' internal working, then I will test and report back any errors.

I *am* updating the wiki with information gathered re: x2goclient.exe as 
my time permits - but just as in your case, my time is limited and I 
have to prioritize some tasks over others. So before embarking on an 
hours-long testing trip, I'd like to know if it's worth my time or if 
I'm wasting it, because what I'm trying out is not supported anyway.
