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

Hi Stefan I'd built up a remote desktop solution for some schools where the initial desktop was on an ubuntu cloud server. However, on that Cloud server I had dozens of LXD containers which have a variety of different Desktop Environments in some of them as well as different purposes. LXD is a "system" container technology versus the Docker type "application" container technology. So some of the LXD containers might be more oriented to a specific "group" of educational users like science, or writing, or even teachers. Those LXD containers are on their own 10.x.x.x network. I wanted to use x2go to get to the "host" server Desktop but then just have Desktop Icon's setup to use x2goclient cli to connect them further to a specific LXD container Desktop of their choosing. But although pyhoca-cli supports specifying a "- -server" target the x2goclient cli does not include that option. However, the x2goclient cli supports other options I wanted to use that the pyhoca-cli does not such as "no-session-edit", "hide-menu-toolbar" etc. My use-case problem really revolved around those kind of feature option differences between the two CLI methods. So I submitted the wish-list bug just to ask as not being a coder I don't know if something is alot or a little work but there was no harm asking. I just hadn't gotten any response. As I know you guys are busy with the future of Artica (btw I'm anxious to see what it is/does)... I thought I'd just send a ping to make sure someone at least took a look at the request. By the way... Happy New Years to all of you guys on the x2go & artica team(s)...!
