[X2Go-User] Issue With Desktop Sharing Function - No Updates On Client Screen

[Sebastian Schneider]

Hi Uli,

Thanks again for the quick response.
You were absolutely right. I accidentally searched with the "e" flag before
and only got explicit results (my bad).

On Server:
NXAGENT - Version 3.5.99.22

On Client:
nxproxy/bionic 2:3.5.99.16-1

Looks like the latest versions?

Let me know if you can think of anything.
Thanks again
Sebastian
