Does X2Go Client disappear entirely? The wanted behavious is that the X2Go Client application stays on the desktop and is available for another X2Go session login without having to relaunch the X2Go Client application. With '--close-disconnect' added, the X2Go client is closed after the user logged out from the server, but the X2Go Client icon stays on the desktop. Ok. The icon is IMHO sufficient. If the next user clicks this icon, the X2Go Client appears in no time with a clean login window. Good. Then I will add --close-disconnect for minidesktop, too. However, I agree that the user name should be removed from the login mask. Maybe we need to amend this in X2Go Client upstream and discuss that feature (maybe a new cmdline option) there. Yes, good idea. Not on my top prio list... I'll bring it up when looking into X2Go Client code next time.
