The problem:

When using x2goclient to connect to the server, I can't get the session to finish starting up. I can access the remote MATE desktop (Ubuntu 14.04) menus (i.e. "Applications", "Places", "System") but now icons appear on the desktop. Starting of applications take much longer time than expected.

My work around:

Switch to connecting using KDE session, or using PyHoca-GUI to connect. If I use PyHoca-GUI, I can connect to the server with MATE session type successfully. This work around suggests clearly that X2Goclient has some problems to form proper connect to the server. And I think the fixed "session type" information below at "Information from 'Show Details'" is causing the problem.

Thanks for the work of X2Go

Kind regards

Adam
