I do not have a "tray" on Mate per se. I do have a notification area on the top panel but x2go does not show there (client machine). I do have Suspend and Terminate buttons on the Session information window on the big blue x2goclient waste of space area. If I click Suspend it does close the window which shows the view of the remote machine. By connecting to the remote machine with an SSH terminal and examining what is running it appears that the remote SESSION is running, not suspended (which my research lead me to believe should happen.) And I can reconnect to the remote session which is a good thing. Thanks. > > > 2. How does one connect to more than one remote machine?

I am spoiled from using vinagre to connect to conventional vnc sessions. It presents them in a tabbed interface.
