For the same reason I mentioned previously: because I need to run
programs that allow only one concurrent instance.  Consider what
happens when I am running my web browser locally on my X2Go server, and
then locally reconnect to a local X2Go session that is running my e-mail
client. If I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail message, it will try
(and fail) to launch a new instance of my web browser.  As far as I
know, the only solutions are to kill the local web browser and relaunch
it within the X2Go session, or else kill the e-mail client and
relaunch it locally.  I usually just kill the entire X2Go session,
since it's rare that the session is running anything other than the
e-mail client.

If you know of a better way of dealing with this, I'd be happy to hear
about it.

Regards,
Tristan
