Is there no way whatsoever to = reset e.g. settings rather than have to do a complete reinstall and lose = all configs?

For example, as per
https://b= ugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D1369
when I attempted to = add “-noprimary” to the vcserv serve custom command line = under X2Go->Settings when I restart x2go it now _immediately_ = crashes with “can’t start x.org.server” making my x2go = setup completely useless

i.e. I know what caused my = instability, so surely there’s a way to fix without a full wipe + = install?!
