[X2Go-User] x2go Dropping keystrokes?

[Uranus Hertz]

I would then expect to see a similar problem when connecting from my Linux
workstation to the same x2go host over the same network, but that client
does not seem to have the same issue.
Not sure that UDP is the culprit, but as I have not seen the code, I cannot
speak authoritatively on that.
