[X2Go-User] x2go Client not connecting. Where to get more info?

[Diego Costantini]

I think recently things got a bit better for Cinnamon, and since I prefer
that to Mate, I would fight a little longer to get it working.

The problem is: where can I find any log to figure where is exactly the
issue?
And should I post here or on the dev list?
