For display-manager mode, --close-disconnect makes sense.

For minidesktop, the user is recommended to log out of the MATE  
desktop session. This can be enforced by some auto logout (or killer?)  
feature in MATE.

If --close-disconnect is added to X2Go Client in minidesktop mode,  
what exactly happens when ending an X2Go session? Does X2Go Client  
disappear entirely? The wanted behavious is that the X2Go Client  
application stays on the desktop and is available for another X2Go  
session login without having to relaunch the X2Go Client application.

However, I agree that the user name should be removed from the login  
mask. Maybe we need to amend this in X2Go Client upstream and discuss  
that feature (maybe a new cmdline option) there.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
