It would be useful to known how to implement =93adding "-noprimary" to =
the
VcXserv options=94 since when I attempted to add =93-noprimary=94 to the =
vcserv
serve custom command line under X2Go->Settings when I restart x2go it =
now
_immediately_ crashes with =93can=92t start x.org.server=94 making my =
x2go setup
completely useless
