			====fix_perms.sh====
			When using [[Hoffman2:Scripts:fix_perms.sh\|fix_perms.sh]] or other commands to resolve permission issues when starting new shells, X2Go can freeze due to any "permission denied" messages that occur.

			Solution:

			: Place fix_perms.sh or any other commands in ''~/.bash_logout''

			Commands in ''~/.bash_logout'' are issued when a bash login shell exits. This should resolve issues with X2Go and also allow users to continue using these commands.
