 +===== Desktop Bindings for KDE/Plasma (v4.x) =====
 +
 +X2Go bindings for KDE/Plasma offer an X2Go plasmoid for the Plasma desktop framework. The X2Go plasmoid adds additional X2Go-related functionality to your KDE/Plasma Desktop (package name: ''plasma-widget-x2go''). 
 +
 +==== Installation ====
 +
 +:!: Note: this package has undergone some renamings in 2011; from x2goplasmoid to x2goplasmoidbindings, to plasma-widget-x2go.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ aptitude install plasma-widget-x2go
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +==== Usage ====
 +
 +After the installation every KDE4/Plasma user on the server has the possibility to add the X2Go plasmoid applet to the desktop or to the taskbar (recommended). //Note:// the X2Go plasmoid is not available on the user desktops directly after installation, it __has__ to be integrated into the desktop by each individual user.
 +
 +Once the X2Go plasmoid has been added to desktop or taskbar, the plasmoid will notify you about newly mounted client-side shared folders. You will be able to launch KDE4's file browser ''dolphin'' by left-clicking on one of these shares, you also have the possiblity to unmount/eject those shares.
 +
 +At the bottom of the X2Go plasmoid's applet box area, you have a link that allows you to suspend your current X2Go session.
 +
 +===== Desktop Bindings for LXDE (v5.x) =====
 +
 +X2Go bindings for LXDE (package name: ''x2golxdebindings'') will add additional X2Go-related functionality to your LXDE Desktop. 
 +
 +==== Installation ====
 +
 +<code>
 +$ aptitude install x2golxdebindings
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Desktop Bindings for Trinity (v3.5.x) =====
 +
 +:!: **WARNING:**
 +> The desktop bindings for the Trinity desktop are planned and there already exists a Git project in the X2Go Git VCS. There already appears a package ''x2gotrinitybindings'' in the nightly-built package repositories (Debian/Ubuntu), but the code is very dysfunctional and not usable at all.
 +
 +===== Desktop Bindings for XFCE4 (v4.x) =====
 +
 +:!: **WARNING:**
 +> There currently are no desktop bindings for the XFCE4 desktop, but there has been a request from the community to work on that. Any help on this is appreciated, it might be fertile to adapt the ''x2gognomebindings'' package for that purpose. Please [[contact:start|contact]] the developers on the X2Go developers mailing list.
