• Linux, Mac OS X: $HOME/.x2goclient/sessions
• Windows X2GoClient (non-portable mode): session profiles are stored in the Windows registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Obviously Nice\x2goclient\sessions)
• Windows X2GoClient (portable mode): session profiles are stored in a file (location???)
• Windows PyHoca-GUI: session profiles are stored in the file (%USERPROFILE%\.x2goclient\sessions)

… only available with Python X2Go / PyHoca

• Desktop sessions: (command=[KDE,GNOME,LXDE,…]):
  • KDE (startkde)
  • GNOME (gnome-session)
  • LXDE (lxde-session)
  • XFCE4 (xfce4-session, Python X2Go only)
  • TRINITY (starttrinity, Python X2Go only, don't miss the README.Trinity-Desktop file!!)
  • UNITY (unity-2d-launcher, Python X2Go only, very experimental and not well supported)

• Single Applications (command=[TERMINAL,WWWBROWSER,OFFICE,MAILCLIENT]):
  • TERMINAL (find terminal application on server and launch)
  • WWWBROWSER (find browser on server …)
  • OFFICE (find office application on server …)
  • MAILCLIENT (find mail client on server …)

• Remote Desktop (command=RDP):
  • Setting the command to RDP will turn X2Go into an RDP proxy (RDP via NX). RDP will receive a performance improvement on WAN connections and X2Go will guarantee SSH encryption (whereas RDP drops encryption if the bandwidth won't suffice).
  • Make sure to use the options rdpserver and rdpoptions properly.

• XDMCP (command=XDMCP):
  • Do an XDMCP query for the XDMCP server specified by the xdmcpserver option. Useful if you have a complex terminal server setup behind one X2Go gateway (e.g. handled by an XDMCP chooser).

• Other applications (command=<unix-application-on-server>):
  • Specify any application (by its name) that is available via $PATH. No full path names are allowed here, the path will be stripped off of the file name provided. Make sure your $PATH environment variable resolves to the wanted application properly.

• Published applications mode (command=, published=true):
  • Leave the command option empty and enable the option published
