Hi

It's really nice to see others that want to use this feature as well.
Mike have done an excellent job on this, which we really appreciate. My
company Fleten.net still have a strong focus on deliver remote Ubuntu
desktops with the Unity-Greeter integration of X2Go. Right now we are
seeking to get further development founded, and we will certainly join
forces with anyone that have the same goals. Feel free to contact me in
a private message.
