Hi Heinz, thx for your answer - I somehow thought it must be more code than these 7.9 kb in plugin.cpp! But it seems that it just forks a new x2goclient process with some undocumented command line options as well as a temporary cfg file and embeds it into the browser window. No secret magic behind it, it seems ;)
Concerning the legal stuff: I'd register the name X2go as a trademark - in Germany that is easily done through www.dpms.de... Jörg Am Mittwoch, den 15.09.2010, 11:14 +0200 schrieb Heinz-M.
