Subject: MacOS client does not work when local username has space

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package:  X2Go Client (MacOS)
Version: 4.1.0.0

I am not able to make a complete session with MacOS Sierra.  My (corporate) username is formatted “firstname lastname”, and thus:

/Users/firstname lastname/.x2go/
/Users/firstname lastname/.x2goclient/

I also have a personal account on the computer which is “firstname”, and thus:

/Users/firstname/

The error message I am getting while using the “firstname lastname” account is:

Loop: PANIC! Can’t read options from file ‘/Users/firstname.’  Error is 21 ‘is a directory’.

I have a strong suspicion that the client is having issues with the space in my username.  The reason I mention my personal account which is my first name is that /Users/firstname does exist and is a directory which may skew the error message during replication.  When /Users/firstname/ is temporarily renamed,  the client seems to hang and then closes without an error in ui.

Thank you,

Adam
