====== Tricks ======

===== 1. X2go lacks 75dpi font so that it cannot run nmrDraw =====
  * Solution: copy fonts\75dpi from VcXsrv 1.18.3.0 to x2goclient\VcXsrv\fonts. [[http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084 | Ref]]

===== 2. Bad performance on yellow and purple =====

The phenomenon leads from overwhelming special effects of xfce. There are two solutions.

==== 2.1 Through terminal (Recommended) ====

First of all, terminate the x2go session using x2go client's button ''terminate'', instead of just closing the x2go windows!!!

Log in the server through ssh. Then open file ''~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml'', find the line including ''use_compositing'' and change the value from ''true'' to ''false''.

<code>
vi ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml
</code>

==== 2.2 Through GUI ====

One can shutdown it by clicking ''Application'' (at the top left corner of the x2go windows) -> ''Settings'' -> ''Settings Manager'' -> ''Window Manager Tweaks'' -> ''Compositor''. Then uncheck the option ''Enable display compositing'' (this is the master switch of all options, so the other buttions won't matter).

Similarly, terminate the x2go session using x2go client's button ''terminate'', instead of simply closing the x2go windows!!! This is a must to make the change applied.
