Hi guys, judging from this user feedback, maybe we should change our terminology? "Detach" (German: "Trennen") seems to be less misleading than "Suspend" (German: "Anhalten"). At least one of the closed-source, commercial players in the remote desktop field uses "Trennen" in its German client software, too. - -Stefan Am 17.09.2014 um 12:21 schrieb Martyn Welch: > Ooh, this is embarrassing... > > On 16/09/14 15:41, Stefan Baur wrote: Am 16.09.2014 um 12:01 > schrieb Martyn Welch: >>>> X2go is generally working well as a replacement (thanks >>>> guys!), however one complaint that I'm getting from users is >>>> that x2go suspends sessions on disconnect.
