| # It looks like -multiwindow mode triggers the static color visual in both the internal x2go xserver and the external vcxsrv | |
| # But it also looks like -multiwindow mode is how x2go client allows resizing of the remote desktop | |
| # ...so I'm looking for a way to allow resizing of remote desktop w/out triggering static color visual. | |

I realize that this was posted some time ago. However, I was having issues using -screen 0 @2 to try and display the X11 screen on my second monitor. However, when I do that; the full screen still appears to take over my primary screen.
This produced the following error in log file (with the attached popup screen):
