But only for the users that make the first login after this configuration is done. For the users that already made the first login, it seems like the old settings have been cached somehow and this does not fix it.
We could fix this for Debian Edu by some hacky-wacky approach.But the real fix would be: XFCE4 recognizes that it is running in an NX-based X2Go session and disables compositing automatically.
For this, we have librda in Debian (RDA - Remote Desktop Awareness).We use that for MATE desktop at some places, but we could certainly send a patch to XFCE4 upstream and XFCE4 maintainers in Debian.
Actually, we need to do the same for marco (MATE's window manager).@Dashamir: how are your C programming skills? Could you work on patches for xfwm4 and marco? With some guidance?
