Thanks for testing the Unity-Greeter integration of X2Go.

The project is not actively developed without sponsoring. The initial  
code was sponsored by Fleten.net (a company from Denmark deploying  
X2Go in municipalities).

Together with the Fleten.net technicians I discovered several issues  
in the blog text, that I got addressed as comments on my personal blog  
[1]. Please check all comments, they may help with your observed issues.

Canonical Ltd. is generally interested in adding this feature to Unity  
Greeter upstream but they are also putting some technical demands on  
the development that I do not want to fullfill in my spare time (I  
don't really use Ubuntu myself, so I neither have a business nor  
private use case for the Unity Greeter integration). So, if you are  
interested in sponsoring the further development of this feature, I  
will be happy to continue working on it.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
