-====== Usage of PyHoca-GUI  (an alternative X2go client applet ) ======
-The name PyHoca is a word play combining two powerful entities: Python and Phoca (mascot of X2go, Latin species name for seals).
-PyHoca-GUI is a client implementation for X2go using the project's Python API (module) [[Python-X2go]]. PyHoca-GUI uses wxPython for rendering graphical desktop elements (menus, dialog boxes etc.).
-PyHoca-GUI is designed as a very minimal GUI that behaves very similar to GNOME's network manager applet (nm-applet). It appears as a small Phoca icon (a little seal) that docks to your systray panel (also called notification area) and allows you to manage multiple X2go sessions simultaneously.
-Connecting
-==== Profile Manager ====
-PyHoca-GUI uses the same configuration files as an x2goclient.
-Thus PyHoca-GUI should work out of the box for most setups and user profiles on a System with a working x2goclient configuration.
-PyHoca-GUI will appear on the Screen as a small Icon that docks into your systray (as the Gnome applet for Network Manager does).
-Find this Icon.   It is the 'accelerated' X from X2go in Ubuntu-like colors).
-==== Starting PyHoca ====
-To start PyHoca //left-click// on the Icon then choose **Authenticate X2go Server** to be presented with any existing Session Profiles.
-==== Future features Roadmap ====
-Note: __not__ ordered by development priority
-To be added:
-  * Embedded menu extension for PyHoca-GUI (Client retrieves a menu tree from a Server and allows the User to start remote //'rootless'// Applications from a GUI menu).
-  * //Unity Desktop support// to be added to PyHoca-GUI.
-  * Implement VcXsrv on Windows as a replacement for xming.
-    For further info, please consult the README.WindowsInstaller in the same folder.
