-FIXME <del>There might be a race condition between the scripts handling the sshd keyfile and the ssh private key file copy task (/config ...), causing one to umount the fixed disk before the other is done reading/copying.

-FIXME <del>Setting the time via NTP will fail if the TC can't establish a connection to an NTP server via the internet. It would make sense to allow specifying an internal NTP server via a boot parameter.</del> fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo

 FIXME ''broker-url='', ''ldap='', ''ldap1='', ''ldap2='', ''session='', ''throttle='', are currently unsupported in MiniDesktop-Mode. This could be changed, given enough tuits.

 FIXME ''bg='' and ''branding='' are currently unsupported in MiniDesktop-Mode. Adding support for these doesn't need many tuits. A third option for the desktop background could be added as well - possibly for regular TCE mode as well, overriding our default blue. FIXME ''bg='' and ''branding='' are currently unsupported in MiniDesktop-Mode.
