x2gostartagent coordinates the startup process of a new X2Go session. It expects quite a list of parameters, all of which are obligatory.

x2gostartagent is run with X2Go user privileges and normally executed by an X2Go client application.

<geometry>

Session window size on screen (allowed values: <width>x<height> or fullscreen).

<link_quality>

Any value out of: modem, isdn, adsl, wan or lan.

<nx_pack_method>

NX compression method (see below for possible values).

<cache_type+dpi>

Cache type and color depth for X2Go session window. The most common value is: unix-kde-depth_24 where ,,24'' is the color depth in bit.

<kblayout>

Keyboard layout (e.g. us, de, etc.).

<kbtype>

Keyboard type/model (e.g. pc105/us).

<setkbd>

Force setting keyboard layout and type within the X2Go session on startup. Values: 0 or 1.

<session_type>

Allowed values for <session_type> are: D (desktop), R (rootless) or S (shadow session, X2Go desktop sharing).

<command>

The command given by the <command> argument is only used to create the session ID for this new X2Go session. The actual execution of a command is handled by x2goruncommand.

<clipboardmode>

The session's clipboard mode. Possible values: both, server, client, none. Allows one to configure clipboard security per session via the connecting X2Go client. If the clipboard parameter is set server-side in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options, then that value will override client-side settings.

A list of session attributes is returned after successful session startup. Session attributes will be presented on a line-by-line basis:

   field 01: <X_display_number>
   field 02: <session_cookie_hash>
   field 03: <agent_pid>
   field 04: <session_id>
   field 05: <graphics_port>
   field 06: <sound_port>
   field 07: <sshfs_port>
   field 08: <tekictrl_port> (if Telekinesis is available/enabled)
   field 09: <tekidata_port> (if Telekinesis is available/enabled)

As NX compression methods (<link-quality> argument) the following values are possible. The % character must be replaced by a digit 0-9.
