-**Run the following commands as a regular, non-root user.  You'll need the root password to install them.**+Download latest [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/|x2goclient for Windows]] and install. Administrator rights required.
  
-<note>You need qt4 for x2goclient. Follow the installation instructions at [[http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/qt4.html|BLFS]].</note>+:!: Versions prior to 3.99.0.2 may have problems connecting to x2goserver if an antivirus product is installed on the client (even if it is disabled/inactive). If you cannot use 3.99.0.2 or later, try using [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/pre-git/x2goclient-3.01-13-setup.exe|version 3.01-13]].

 +<note>Formerly, localhost access between client and server, that is X2go client==server, was not supported, but it seems that this arrangement works quite nice nowadays (since commit 63556d2 2012-02-01, me believes). This is very useful feature for testing and keeping desktop always alive for remote //and// local access.</note>
  
-==== MS Windows ====+The ''x2goclient'' application provides you the possibility to access the remote running desktop, exchange files with it and redirect sound from the session on the server to your local client. ''x2goclient'' can be started via the Desktop Environment's application menu (section: Internet) or by using the command line in a shell (simply type ''x2goclient'' there and hit enter).
  
-FIXME+Quite a few options are available from command line, some of them cannot be configured from within the GUI. For further information on command line options, please check the man page of x2goclient: [[http://code.x2go.org/doc/x2goclient/man/man1/x2goclient.1.html|man x2goclient]].

-FIXME+After the installation of ''x2goclient'' an application link can be found in the menu of your Desktop Environment. On GNU/Linux systems it will be integrated into the ''Internet'' menu section.
  
-===== Usage =====+==== Getting started (my first Session Profile) ====
  
-The ''x2goclient'' application is the client part of X2go. It should be installed on a client computer to access an X2go server running on another machine (Note: currently, localhost access between client and server, that is X2go client==server is not supported). +When you launch the ''x2goclient'' for the first time, it will start the ''new session'' dialogue automatically. On the first tab, fill out the ''Session Name'', type the IP of the host in the ''Host'' and add your username to the ''Login'' field. If you use a non-standard ssh port on your host, change that as well, in the ''SSH Port'' field.
  
-The ''x2goclient'' application provides you the possibility to access the remote running desktop, exchange files with it and redirect sound from the session on the server to your local client. ''x2goclient'' can be started via the Desktop Environment's application menu (section: Internet) or by using the command line in a shell (simply type ''x2goclient'' there and hit enter).+Moving down to the ''Session Type'' field, select your desktop environment. If your environment is not on the list, use the "Custom Desktop" option, and specify the command that starts the desktop or VM. 
  
-Quite a few options are available from command line, some of them cannot be configured from within the GUI. For further information on command line options, please check the man page of x2goclient: [[http://code.x2go.org/doc/x2goclient/man/man1/x2goclient.1.html|man x2goclient]].+Lastly, if you are using something other than a US keyboard, go to the ''Settings'' tab, and specify the keyboard layout there. Click Ok and start your session by selecting it on the main window.
  
-==== Graphical interface ====+==== Configure Client Settings ====
  
-After the installation of ''x2goclient'' ([[installing x2goclient (Tarball)|Tarball]], [[installing x2goclient (Debian)|Debian]], [[installing x2goclient (Ubuntu)|Ubuntu]], [[installing x2goclient (MacOS)|MacOS]], [[installing x2goclient (Windows)|Windows]]) an application link can be found in the menu of your Desktop Environment. It will be integrated inside the topic "Internet" (Debian/Ubuntu). +FIXME
  
-==== Gettings started (my first Session Profile) ====+<note tip>Session may not start properly when the server side is GNOME 3. You'll need to select 'Custom desktop' in preferences and write an appropriate command. If you first start a local session and look for 'gnome-session' in process list (ps ax | grep gnome), you'll get a hint. For example:
  
-FIXME+''gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback''
  
-==== Configure Client Settings ====+or 
  
-FIXME+''gnome-session --session=gnome-2d'' 
 +

 +YMMV</note>
