[X2Go-User] xrandr settings - how do you handle this?

[Ulrich Sibiller]

I'd you resize the local window the desktop within the session will resize,
too. Maybe you can also use xdotool for that. If the local window will span
multiple screens this will reflect in the xrandr configuration within the
session (see xrandr output).
