Were getting off topic, but normally
people spend their free time with things that satisfy them.
Satisfaction can be gained by money, but for a lot of OSS it's
because its something that person developing it uses: If some
minor issue is bugging me, I'll spend time fixing it. If there is
I major issue, but it doesn't bug me, there is no satisfaction in
fixing it, unless I get satisfaction by people telling me that I
did a great job. People just complaining do not help at all.
Besides: Mac is definitely no major target platform. AFAIK
neverpanic is currently working on it, and he already put quite
some time into getting it to work the way it does. Thus it was no
"why don't you fix it yourself?", but a "Fix it yourself, pay for
it being fixed or stop complaining." - After all the broker is an
Enterprise feature, thus spending a little money would do no
bad.....

Yes, yes, we know. The software is free. Every time anyone
expresses concern with something like the, this is the argument
that comes forth, which suddenly makes our concerns invalid if we
don't suddenly know how to fix the problem ourselves in a language
we're not familiar with. I am grateful for the software, but as a
developer myself, I find that programmers are way too sensitive to
criticism. Sometimes users get upset when glaring issues are put
on the back burner while other, much less severe bugs are added to
new releases. It's going to happen and it's a critical part of the
feedback and development cycle. Never is "why don't you fix it
yourself?" a proper response.

This is very disappointing. It's
been 6 months since this report was
filed (and since the last release) and even though it was
acknowledged
in July, it still was not fixed in the current version.
Will we be
stuck with this bug for another six months?
Filing and acknowledging bugs does not fix them. You get
X2Go for free,
thus I can see no justification for you to complain. Instead
of whining
you could give something back to those people who spent many
hours
working on X2Go for free(!). Either by providing a patch
your self or by
putting out a bounty.
