[X2Go-User] Connect to local desktop with larger resolution

[Ulrich Sibiller]

You can switch to viewport mode and then move the view, see
README.keystrokes.gz in the nxagent package. In short:

ctrl-alt-r toggles viewport and desktop mode
ctrl-alt-left/right/up/down (or keypad 4,6,8,2) will move the visible
area. Add shift to scroll instead.

Does that help?
