Well, I started doing that, but it ended up being a lot less work (and a 
lot shorter code) to just take the settings from the session files. :)

Please consider the attached patch. It makes x2goruncommand behave more 
like GDM/LightDM for GNOME-ish sessions.

Testing GNOME Flashback on recent Ubuntu requires a couple of patches to 
Ubuntu packages, which I'm working on getting accepted. Details on 
Launchpad:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281/comments/46
https://launchpad.net/~rtandy/+archive/ubuntu/flashback/+packages

The gnome-session patch is applicable to Jessie too, but I think it's 
too late in the freeze to get it accepted now. :(

Many thanks for your work on X2Go!
