Subject: Ctrl-Alt-T doesn't terminate connection in "local desktop" sessions
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 02:32:26 -0400
Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.20


Summary:
As stated in the wiki https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:nx-keyboard-shortcuts
The action "close_session" should terminate the session.
But, pressing Ctrl-Alt-t in a "local desktop" session does not "terminate" the session.


Steps to reproduce:
0. Create a new session profile in x2goclient with session type "Connect to local desktop";
1. Connect to remote computer using this session profile;
2. Press Ctrl-Alt-t at the client.

Expected behaviour:
The remote desktop window on the client should close, the connection should be terminated.

Actual behaviour:
The remote desktop window on the client does not close, the connection is not terminated.
The following log entries appears in the server's system journal:

```

```


Other infomation:
0. Executing x2gosuspend-session <ID> on the server has the same effect as pressing C-A-t at the client.
1. Execuitng x2goterminate-session <ID> on the server does terminates the session and closes the client window.
3. Server-side /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg: http://paste.debian.net/plain/992795

This is caused by the way we handle dialogs from nxagent. Currently, every
dialog (wrongly) spawns x2gosuspend-session for every message the agent wants to
show.

nxagent sends a KILL SESSION dialog when close_session is executed for
non-persistent sessions (like shadow sessions), but the default handler
x2gosuspend-session that is set via NX_CLIENT is x2gosuspend-session, which is
called and fails to suspend the session (since session suspension doesn't make
sense or works with non-persistent sessions.)

While the general goal should be to relay messages to the client side one day,
currently I want a small wrapper script on the server side which handles
server-side events in a better way.

Thus retitling this bug report.

I have not tested the following, but could it work?

1. download opennx client. It brings a matching nxclient binary IIRC
2. edit /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: find the line defining NX_CLIENT and
let the varible point to opennx nxclient.

If the nxclient is not working you have two further options:
1. use nxcl from the google neatx project
2. find a copy of the original nxclient 3.x package and use the
nxclient contained within like described above.

I don't think this will work.

The client must wrap around our X2Go scripts (which handle session management
via the database etc.), and we currently don't have something like this. I'll
have to implement it some day.


The workaround for the user currently is to use the buttons in X2Go Client,
which do what they are supposed to do.

    x2gostartsession: let x2godialog handle events via NX_CLIENT.
    
    Previously, any action that should have displayed a dialog did instead
    suspend x2goagent, since NX_CLIENT was set to x2gosuspend-session.
    
    Fixes: #1228.
    Fixes: #1540.

Sorry for the noise, this should have not made it to the master branch yet.

It requires nx-libs to be updated first and a round of cleanup in the commits.


It'll eventually be pushed correctly, but not just now.
