[X2Go-User] Some questions about X2go

[Torsten Kupke]

Hi Walid,

yes, currently I use a "MATE" session, because I can configure it more 
flexible. But the "Local desktop" session sometimes could be useful, 
when I worked on the console of the Ubuntu host and forgot to save my 
work before going home. Then I could use the "Local desktop" session to 
save the unsaved work. And sometimes there are things, which couldn't be 
saved in their actual state and must be worked on before saving. So the 
"Local desktop" session could be very useful to complete and save this work.

With RDP I could connect to an actual running Windows session (on the 
same working PC with two screens). All the Windows opened at work 
remained opened, and I could continue my work, as if I sat before the 
console. The RDP Window can be configured as large as the two screens 
are. On my single screen at home it displays scroll bars, so I can 
scroll to each edge. So if the full screen of X2go had scroll bars, 
instead of compressing its content, the "Local desktop" session could be 
much more useful.

Sincerely
tkansgar

On my home PC with Windows 10 I have installed the X2go Client and inside it configured a session connecting to the Ubuntu host according to https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:usage:desktop-sharing . The connection is successful, but there are some issues:

So the display from the Ubuntu host is highly horizontally compressed, so that the texts are nearly unreadable. OK, this behaviour is documented, but is there a way to get it more readable?
>      2. If I (to solve the above issue) switch to something other than full screen mode in the session settings, the session crashes, when started. I have to close and restart the X2go Client. And then with settings set back to full screen mode the session runs again. Is there a way to avoid the crash without full screen mode?
>      3. In full screen mode I cannot see any mouse cursor. So hitting any user elements inside or on the windows inside the display from the Ubuntu host is very difficult, since they are reduced to half the width. Is there a way to see a mouse cursor? Or is this due to the compressed display?
>      4. Since mouse using is so difficult, I tried to close the windows from the Ubuntu host by pressing <Alt><F4>. But then I get a question from X2go to close the session. Is there a way to propagate key combinitions like <Alt><F4> to the remote host?
