[X2go-user] Fwd: Hooking Up To A Running X-Session

[Axel Klein]

Thank you for the answers, but sorry, guys, I am still confused. You 
tell me that's not possible, but now I found a menu item "x2go Desktop 
sharing". That's exactly what I want - I think. When I enabled it, how 
can I connect to that from another machine and where is that documented?
