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

[Sebastian Schneider]

PS: This might be of interest as well.
Just noticed another strange behavior that is most likely related.

I've asked a colleague to try logging in from a windows machine. Fresh
install of X2Go Client (windows).
While the connection gets established for a brief time he can't even get to
any screen before he gets kicked out again straight away.

However when I tried connecting again straight after I suddenly get some
random responses from my computer (client). The occasionally jump to
another workspace (using XFCE) but it randomly starts jumping back and
forth without the actual input then.

I've rebooted my client and reconnected and the same happened again. Random
jumps / flickers.
Then I rebooted the server and that behavior was gone. Basically back to 0
response from then on.

So yeah, looks like some strange behaviour from the server side.
