Hi,

first, thank you for a nice application. I've been looking for a suitable free NX low-bandwidth solution and x2go seems to fit the purpose well.

I'm using the MAC client, and I'm a bit puzzled that it is necessary to turn on remote connections (and hence open the X11 TCP port for listening) in order to locally display the desktop received over NX protocole (presumably tunneled over SSH) . So first you tunnel over SSH for security, and then it is required to open a potentially vulnerable service in order to display that picture ... ?

When starting X programs (like XTERM) in OSX it seems that the default behavior is to communicate over a internal unix socket. Would it be possible to have x2goclient for mac using the same mechanism rather requiring the opening of unsafe services ?
