[X2Go-User] Running without window/desktop manager

[Marat Khalili]

Dear all,

I'm new to X2Go having used FreeNX previously. I've installed x2goserver 
on Ubuntu 16.04 server from ppa:x2go/stable, and can start published 
applications successfully. However, I didn't install any window or 
desktop manager, since I don't think my clients will need it. Neither 
did I install any bindings. I wonder, what features do I lose this way?

Particularly, neither local printing nor shared folders seem to work 
(tested from Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 stock client), can this be 
related, or is it a separate problem? Directory ~/media/disk exists, but 
it is empty; and only "Print to File" is available in remote Firefox. If 
window/desktop manager is needed, which should I install to handle just 
this problem? Do I need bindings package too?

(I'd prefer not to have unnecessary packages on my server to avoid 
frequent security updates.)
