[X2go-user] Ubuntu Natty X2go client

[Neil Hunt]

Mike,

I am using Unity. I switched to GNOME classic and the icon appeared on the
taskbar. Of course, the X2go session, once connected still didn't show up in
a window, just as I had mentioned in 10.10, but it did say connection
successful.

When I switched over to Unity, however, since Unity doesn't include the
system tray, there is no icon. I tried the extension "Confity" to enable the
system tray, however it still did not show anything for the Py Hoca icon. I
believe there's a different way to manage notifications in Unity than the
applets/sys tray icons in GNOME so we may have to look at that if we want to
use Py Hoca going forward on Ubuntu. I was able to get the GTK client to run
in Unity though, so that's what I'm using now.
