[X2go-user] x2goclient as normal user fail

[Zbyszek Tokarczyk]

Hi,
I'm 100% sure that I'm using bash as shell for normal user.
As for the group membership, maybe I had misunderstood something, but
I think that a user must be a member of x2gousers group only on
server.
I'm connectiong to same server and user account. But It works only
when I'm running x2goclient as root, and not as normal user.
