No, I did not use a compositing window manager, just the default Gnome 2 settings which did work fine with x2go. The "fallback" with Gnome 3 is not at all similar to "normal" Gnome. It is not really a desktop environment at all -- seems like just a window manager. I have never tried KDE before, but I tried it after having this problem. I could not stand it, and it had some compatibility problems (it would not work properly with gnome-terminal -- the windows kept auto-shrinking themselves). Then I tried LXDE, and that works great with x2go and all my usual programs. I also like the feel of it, and it seems fast (KDE felt slow to me). So it looks like I am switching to LXDE. _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
