x2goclient wrong windows size by default

[antoinetran]

Expected Behavior

Connection as X2GO to a KDE Desktop will create a Window that can be resized. Plus the KDE menu is visible at bottom.

Current Behavior

Connection as X2GO to KDE Desktop will create a Window that cannot be resized. Plus the desktop is too big for the window, so even the KDE menu at bottom cannot be seen.

Environment
Client:
Reproducible with

• CentOS 7.9 with X2GO client 4.1.1.1
• Windows 10 with X2GO client 4.1.2.2
  NOT reproducible with
• Windows 10 with X2GO client 4.0.5.0

Workaround
(A)
If one does xrandr -s 1600x900, then this fix the window size, and we can see the KDE menu. But the window cannot be resized again. If after that, one logout (either KDE menu -> logout or directly at x2go client logout button, or let the KDE timeout autologout), then after relogging with the same user, the window size is now resizable and we can see directly the KDE menu.

(B)
Instead of doing xrandr [workaround (A)], it is also possible to create for any new user a kscreen file:

mkdir /etc/skel/.kde/share/apps/kscreen -p
cat <<EOF >/etc/skel/.kde/share/apps/kscreen/c21f969b5f03d33d43e04f8f136e7682
[ { "enabled" : true, "id" : "default", "metadata" : { "name" : "default" }, "mode" : { "refresh" : 60.0, "size" : { "height" : 900, "width" : 1440 } }, "pos" : { "x" : 0, "y" : 0 }, "primary" : true, "rotation" : 1 } ]
EOF

Then X2GO client connects as if we already configured window size of 1440x900 (see code kscreen beyond), and this also ignore X2GO client size field in profile. But that is OK because we can fix the size.

kscreen and x2go do not co-operate well. Please retry with kscreen disabled. Uli
