and trying to get this working for me too long now. The largest
hurdle that is stopping me now is the inability to switch windows
properly when using the windows X2Go client.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
@John Sullivan or maybe Stefan Baur: do you have any experience with
this??? A contribution is much appreciated!

Hi, Mike, et al. I do have issues with the way the Windows client
handles keyboard grabbing. I tend to work exactly as the posting Mike
describes and would prefer that<ALT><TAB> worked within the virtual
desktop and that either or both the magic pixel and keyboard shortcuts
(<CTL>M,<CTL>F) worked but I do not have this issue. I have seen what
Mike describes but it is usually a network communications issue - very
high latency or packet loss and happens on Linux as well as Windows.
Hope that helps - John
First Thank you Mike and John for the response. I've narrowed this down
a bit more. My longshot hunch is that this lies with vcxsrv and not
X2Go client. I forgot to mention that the problem windows machine is
Vista Home Premium SP2. I pulled out a XP Home SP3 machine that is
heading out and put 3.99.1.0 preview2 on that. Disabled all sound,
tunnels, sharing etc. it works as it should. The Vista machine still
experience the same crap, no love for me... Finally in a near fit I
disabled nearly all the extra fluff that Vista comes with enabled. Aero
(or whatever their 3d junk is) isn't supported on this box anyway, all
the other wiz bang options are now disabled. Now I have a Vista that
looks like XP and all the sudden X2Go works a charm. I've lost the
magic pixel, but alt + tab will switch me out and back to my session.
Every machine that I've tried thus far will resume / suspend just
dandy. Most excellent!
Now maybe I'll go dust off the old iBook and see if a client will fire
up on PPC.
Haven't tested PyHoca-GUI but I'm sure it will work now. If I can
narrow down more what the problem is I'll post a reply to this for the
archives. Still a rather strange problem.
