Hi Mike#2,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
This does look like a very good solution for Windows-based clients.

However, most of our desktops run Linux-based systems. There is also
an occasional MacOS or two.
VcXsrv appears to be a Windows-only component...

It would be great if it is possible to set a similar option on Linux
clients, too. Has anyone had some luck with that?

Many thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,

I'm the Windows maintainer for X2Go Client (and soon, PyHoca-GUI).

My advise is about the Windows X2Go Client. Others can probably advise
you on the Linux X2Go client.

Anyway, if you are using the Windows X2Go Client, you can override the
X server setting under:
Options -> Settings -> X-server Settings
You can point it to X2Go's own integrated X server, VcXsrv, and pass
the --noclipboard option.
The integrated X server is located at:
On 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe
On 32-bit Window: C:\Program Files\x2goclient\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe

There are other clipboard options for VcXsrv that I am not an expert
on. I've attached the full arguments list for VcXsrv 1.14.2.1 (VcXsrv
1.14.2.1 is included with X2Go Client 4.0.1.2 and 4.0.1.3)

Hello,

I am quite new to X2Go, and really impressed by it. I'd like to switch from
opennx to X2Go, but I can't find a way to limit clipboard sharing.

Opennx, as well as other NX forks, has the options to enable clipboard
sharing both ways, one-way, or disable it completely. So far I have failed
to find a setting to limit this in X2Go.

I'd need clipboard sharing to work only in the client->server
direction, or at least to disable it completely.

I have searched for it for quite a while, but the best I have managed to
find is a bug report
http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=258
and a mailing list question without a single reply.

Is there some way to configure it?
If not, is it going to be hard to write a patch that would turn
this off at compilation time?
I've also been thinking of using some external programs to achieve the
effect, e.g. putting X2Go inside Xephyr, or the other way round...

Any hints most welcome

Many thanks,
Kris
