[X2Go-User] multiple instances of x2go server appearing in tray

[b salzano]

Stephan: Abject apologies - I misstated the issue. The tray icon is indeed
for x2go desktopsharing, and that is exactly the function that I need to
use.  So the question I meant to ask, then, is whether there is a config
file somewhere that will prevent more than one instance of desktopsharing
to run in a particular account.

Xfce (what I normally use) doesn't provide any options to manage that
aspect. Perhaps someone knows what config file to look at?

Thanks - and sorry for a bad initial post.

That's not X2GoGserver.  In fact, X2GoServer doesn't display any icons
in your tray (X2GoClient does that on the client side, obviously).

What you're seeing there looks like the applet belonging to the X2Go
package <https://packages.debian.org/buster/x2godesktopsharing>, from
what I can tell.

If you don't need that particular feature, it should be safe to simply
uninstall that package.  If you do want to use it, you need to find out
why the applet is being started multiple times.
