- | ====== X2Go Desktop Bindings ====== | ||
- | |||
- | To integrate X2Go fluently into your desktop, we provide desktop binding tools for the most common desktop environments. The following desktops are supported: | ||
- | |||
- | * GNOME (v2.x) | ||
- | * KDE/Plasma (v4.x) | ||
- | * LXDE (v5.x) | ||
- | * Trinity (KDE3 fork, v3.5.x) -> planned FIXME | ||
- | * XFCE4 (v4.x) -> not planned yet, but requested by the community (help welcome) | ||
- | |||
- | :!: **Note:** | ||
- | > The old project x2gokdebindings (desktop bindings for KDE3 as in Debian lenny and before) is discontinued and gets replaced by the bindings for the Trinity desktop. | ||
- | |||
- | The functionalities offered by the desktop bindings are: | ||
- | |||
- | * integrate functionalities around //Local Folder Sharing// (SSHFS mounted client shares) into the destkop | ||
- | * menu item for suspending X2Go sessions (not in LXDE) | ||
- | * remove non-remote desktop menu items (like suspend-2-RAM, | ||
- | |||
- | NOTE: All desktop binding packages have to be installed on the X2Go server(s). | ||
- | |||
- | :!: **Before you begin!** | ||

- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Usage ==== | ||
- | |||
- | X2Go GNOME desktop bindings take care of mounted X2Go shares (local client folder sharing). If a client share is mounted via your X2Go client application, | ||
- | |||
- | The X2Go GNOME desktop package defines a set of desktop icons and MIME types so that mounted client shares get associated to opening Nautilus. | ||
- | |||
- | The X2Go GNOME desktop bindings package also adds a context menu item that allows the X2Go session user to unmount shared client folders by right-clicking on their desktop icons. | ||
- | |||
- | The X2Go GNOME desktop bindings package furtheron adds a //Systen// menu item to your GNOME panel. Users will be able to suspend their X2Go sessions with just a click on a menu entry: //System// -> //Suspend X2Go Session//. | ||

- | ===== Desktop Bindings for KDE/Plasma (v4.x) ===== | ||

- | |||
- | |||
- | ==== 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, | ||
- | |||
- | 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 '' | ||
