Package: debian-edu-config Severity: normal Version: 2.12.20Currently, Xfce by default has compositing enabled for new user profiles. This is basically ok.
However, if I try to connect to a combi-server via an X2Go thinclient, the enabled compositing in xfwm makes the whole X2Go session very sluggishly and virtually unusable.
A real fix for this could be provided in Xfce4 itself (see librda, Remote Desktop Awareness library). Until that has landed in Xfce (I might provide a patch for Xfce some time), we should consider disabling compositing in Xfce4-
Same applies for the MATE desktop environment. Compositing should be disabled by default, as well.
This makes the desktop environments look more simple, but they work out-of-the-box then when accessed via X2Go thinclients.
This is probably very debatable... Maybe it needs to be covered by documentation instead?
