[X2Go-User] Resizing remote desktop behavior

[Ulrich Sibiller]

I am not aware of such issues and I am using it daily this way. So I
suspect your local window manager doing some "intelligent" sizing. I
suggest you test with another window manager (e.g. call openbox
--replace) or disable any window sizing improvements in your window
manager. If the problem persists we can debug further.

In the server side logfile ~/.x2go/.../session.log you can see what
resizes are done. So maybe this gives a hint what's going on.
