[X2Go-User] x2go & firefox, overload + lockups

I see what you mean now..

However, I have now spotted that the issue goes away completely if I set
my x2go session to use only 256k jpeg compression.

That also seems to make remote video like youtube usable.

I think, based on that, that running my X session entirely over SSH
becomes redundant - it must have something to do with the x2go compression.

Of course, the main cause of the problem is still Firefox, but for the
purposes of dealing with misbehaving applications like this, jpeg seems
better.

It's possible there's something wrong with the Debian packages though,
because many compression methods like Tight, RDP etc simply crash the
session immediately before it's shown.

Thanks,
Carl
