[X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI

[Simon Baev]

I wasn't looking to start a "shadow" session to access existing session. I
just needed to use some software that was installed on that machine so
fresh session worked fine. I will try the "extensions" approach for testing
and will stick with a separate user scenario for main needs in future.
Thank you.
