====== X2Go Quality Assurance ======

The quality of X2Go software components is one of the developers' main focus. And still, we need the community's feedback if problems when using X2Go occur.

For the novice, it often is not easy to tell, whether an issue is server-side or client-side. However, the following features should be work when testing X2Go with the existing client applications (X2Go Client, PyHoca-GUI / Python X2Go):
