Where are all my files saved when I'm using SVE? Can I print when using SVE?

X2GO can freeze when accessing ECS CAD Servers (cadteaching and cadresearch)

Workaround:

1) Install xming (https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/)

2) Run xlaunch and configure as follows: "one window", "start no client" and save the configuration to file

3) Launch the saved file

4) connect to cadresearch.ecs.soton.ac.uk with putty and enable X11 Forwarding (under Connection->SSH->X11)

5) launch gnome-session from the putty window
