[X2Go-Dev] Support for PuTTY private key files / built-in ssh-agent?

2012-05-16 Thread Stefan Baur
Hi Devs, would it be possible to integrate support (1) for PuTTY-style ssh private key files (*.ppk) into the X2Go client, or (2) to run a ssh-agent (maybe from cygwin, or copied from PuTTY's pageant.exe) *within* the X2Go client, so other applications can authenticate with the same key?
