Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.1.0.0

Greetings.

In working on a deployment of X2Go on some Ubuntu machines, I found some logic errors in the x2goruncommand script that cased it not to determine the proper session to run for Gnome or Unity on Ubuntu 12.04 (and probably others). In essence, the script was testing the return code of bc, rather than the actual answer (1 or 0) to the boolean question being passed to it.

Here is a patch (also attached) that fixes this problem and I can verify that this works on at least Ubuntu 12.04 systems. I don't have any others I can easily test on. I'm not crazy about the quotes both outside and inside $(), but I think it should be okay. Perhaps a more adept bash programmer might have a better suggestion. :-)

Thanks for your attention and please let me know if you have any questions or need any other information. And, thanks for your hard work on this terrific project!
