The above should read "without a --desktop argument", however that is
wrong as well. The --desktop only affects diskless client images, not
X2Go clients.
The problem is rather that debian-edu-ltsp-install hardcodes the Xfce
session by rewriting /etc/ltsp/skel/.x2goclient/sessions with
"command=XFCE" every time it is invoked which is later copied into the
chroot. So either the --desktop option needs to be overloaded or a new
--x2go-session argument needs to be introduced.
The default could be determined by simply going though all known
education-desktop-* packages and using the first intalled one.
