[X2Go-User] where are settings stored on Windows

[Paul Raines]

The user has 4.0.3.2 installed on Win7 box.

The connection problem turns out to be linux server side.  After killing all 
x2go related processon that box and then restarting x2gocleansessions service 
the connections worked.

We deleted the registry key and that wiped all the sessions we had defined. 
But the UI issue continues.  We create a new session. Then go to the Session 
Managment dialog and all buttons are greyed out but the top one to create new 
sessions even after selecting the session on the left.  We can double click on 
the session on the left to edit.  So the only thing we cannot do someway or 
other is delete (well, beside wiping out everything in the registry key).

This could have been the case even before the profile migration and we
just didn't notice before.  So that might be a red herring.

Anyway, the user has no need to delete sessions at this time so is fine
with the way things are now.

I am the IT manager for the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging which is a 
joint research center of Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical 
School, Harvard HST and MIT BCS.  We have over 300+ Linux workstations at 
users desks for our imaging analysis.  Up until around 2008 users would use 
VNC for remote graphical access, then we started using freeNX and more 
recently X2Go.  The primary analysis tools are MATLAB and FreeSurfer
