I'm honestly not even sure what all this talk of broker mode even is. I've 
never configured such a thing. I'm not an enterprise user. I've just used the 
standard interface and every time I exit a session, the program no longer 
responds to keyboard input when I try to re-connect. I contributed to this bug 
report because it seems to me to be the same issue. That means it affects every 
user, not just those using broker mode. To me, that seems like something worth 
fixing without having to coerce your individual, non-enterprise users to pay a 
bounty for properly functioning interface. That's why it's in a bug report and 
not a feature request.

Were getting off topic, but normally people spend their free time with things 
that satisfy them. Satisfaction can be gained by money, but for a lot of OSS 
it's because its something that person developing it uses: If some minor issue 
is bugging me, I'll spend time fixing it. If there is I major issue, but it 
doesn't bug me, there is no satisfaction in fixing it, unless I get 
satisfaction by people telling me that I did a great job. People just 
complaining do not help at all.
Besides: Mac is definitely no major target platform. AFAIK neverpanic is 
currently working on it, and he already put quite some time into getting it to 
work the way it does. Thus it was no "why don't you fix it yourself?", but a 
"Fix it yourself, pay for it being fixed or stop complaining." - After all the 
broker is an Enterprise feature, thus spending a little money would do no 
bad.....

Yes, yes, we know. The software is free. Every time anyone expresses concern 
with something like the, this is the argument that comes forth, which suddenly 
makes our concerns invalid if we don't suddenly know how to fix the problem 
ourselves in a language we're not familiar with. I am grateful for the 
software, but as a developer myself, I find that programmers are way too 
sensitive to criticism. Sometimes users get upset when glaring issues are put 
on the back burner while other, much less severe bugs are added to new 
releases. It's going to happen and it's a critical part of the feedback and 
development cycle. Never is "why don't you fix it yourself?" a proper response.

This is very disappointing. It's been 6 months since this report was
filed (and since the last release) and even though it was acknowledged
in July, it still was not fixed in the current version. Will we be
stuck with this bug for another six months?

Filing and acknowledging bugs does not fix them. You get X2Go for free,
thus I can see no justification for you to complain. Instead of whining
you could give something back to those people who spent many hours
working on X2Go for free(!). Either by providing a patch your self or by
putting out a bounty.
