To integrate X2Go fluently into your desktop, we provide desktop binding tools for the most common desktop environments. The following desktops are supported:
The functionalities offered by the desktop bindings are:
NOTE: All desktop binding packages have to be installed on the X2Go server(s).
Before you begin!
Installation of the desktop bindings are currently only provided as Debian/Ubuntu packages. Please make sure that you have added the x2go repository to your package management system. The required steps are described here (Debian) and here (Ubuntu)
X2go bindings for GNOME (package name: x2gognomebindings
) will add additional functionality to your GNOME Desktop.
$ aptitude install x2gognomebindings
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, a desktop icon appears that will start Nautilus opening the mounted (SSHFS) share.
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.
