*Server: Debian "Jessie"
X2Go Server: 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+wheezy.main.1
Client: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
X2Go Client: 4.0.3.0 (Qt - 4.8.6)*

Team, Hi.

I'm accessing a headless Debian (Jessie) machine from Windows 7. I just 
installed X2Go for the first time, generally quite impressed but there 
are some things I don't understand yet, and I haven't found online docs 
to explain.

My Windows machine has 3 screens. What I would typically want to do is 
dedicate one screen to the X2Go session to the server, so I can switch 
between controlling the local client or the server just by moving the 
mouse cursor. This would also make it easy to copy/paste text between 
the machines.

Currently it seems X2Go lets me choose either-

 1. Windowed mode, where the cursor can move in or out of the X2Go window
 2. Fullscreen mode, where X2Go captures the cursor

What I want is a 3rd mode-

  * Dedicate one client monitor to X2Go, but allow the (client, Windows)
    cursor to move in or out of the X2Go window

Is this possible?

Regards-

--
