Please provide your patch. Well, I started doing that, but it ended up being a lot less work (and a lot shorter code) to just take the settings from the session files. :) Please consider the attached patch. It makes x2goruncommand behave more like GDM/LightDM for GNOME-ish sessions. Testing GNOME Flashback on recent Ubuntu requires a couple of patches to Ubuntu packages, which I'm working on getting accepted. Details on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281/comments/46 https://launchpad.net/~rtandy/+archive/ubuntu/flashback/+packages The gnome-session patch is applicable to Jessie too, but I think it's too late in the freeze to get it accepted now. :( Many thanks for your work on X2Go! -- Ryan Tandy - Programmer/Analyst rtandy@sd63.bc.ca School District 63 (Saanich) 250-652-7385
