Yes, it would be better if we had a bugtracker with a decent graphical
interface. But as everything within the project this is a resource
issue, we simply lak manpower.
No, AFAIR there's no newer server release but there's something in the pipeline.
The clipboard is working as designed. I agree that for some setup it
is not desirable for the client to change security related settings.
Currently there's no mechanism to protect settings from being changed
on reconnect. This is not as simple as it might sound. You need to
prevent the server side from accepting any changes to those settings
and need to implement an interface to tell the server what those
settings are. And you need to adapt the client to provide means to let
the user configure that for the initial session. Also you need to
prevent the user from modifying the config file during the session as
the (generated) server-side config file is belonging to the user.
You could, however, try to force that setting in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options:
X2GO_NXOPTIONS="clipboard=client"
I am not sure if this works for reconnects but it is worth a try, I'd
say. Downside: it will be applied for all sessions.
