The idea behind the applet is to give users control over when they want an admin to be able to shadow their session. It does make sense to roll it out in a setting where a support person may need to shadow the session, but should not be able do so without the user knowing about it. Some countries have rather strict privacy laws regarding this, and that's a Good Thing (tm). ;-) -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
