[X2Go-User] how to select single display

[gian sisal]

Hi Ulrich!
I replaced the old "keystroke.cfg" following your indications and it seems
to work (sometimes slower but now I can "navigate" through all the remote
monitors).
Thanks a lot for your help.
Anyway I have another question about X2go: with windows client, in
fullscreen mode, I can't see the mouse pointer.
I read many forums about this "issue" and found that this only happens for
x2go windows clients, is there some news about it?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
G
