[X2Go-User] MATE desktop (Ubuntu Mate 15.10) cannot access in fullscreen mode

[Robert Dinse]

      You've probably got the display on the remote machine desktop set larger
than the resolution of your local screen.  I see this for example if I use an
old 3x4 monitor with 1600x1200 and connect to a machine that I previously had
set to 1680x1050 for a wide screen.  The solution in this case is just to go
into System->Preferences->Hardware-Displays and change the resolution to that
of your local monitor.

      With respect to Fedora intercepting keys, change to Display 1 instead of
Full Screen and then the control-alt-arrows to switch desktops will be
intercepted locally instead of passed to the remote machine.
