[X2Go-Dev] Bug#1633: Bug#1633: Bug#1633: New clipboard issue in Libreoffice with X2Go

[Jens Reyer]

Thanks again.


On both servers:

$ /usr/bin/x2goagent -version

running as X2Go Agent
NXAGENT - Version 3.5.99.27


I installed twm on the Debian Trixie/Sid server, and connected to it from a Linuxmint 22.1 Mate client: Yes The problem is still there.

Or should I also connect from a twm session?
