Hi,

my deep respect for this beautiful peace of software. It helps a lot every day.

I was a little astonished because client-configuration-directory files seemed to be not re-read on
client connect.

I learned from the source that the responsible function only runs on session-init and not on session-move. I did´t expect this from reading the man page. The patch attached introduces a hint which could save other users a little time. I would be honored if you consider including it.

Greetings

Andreas Gaufer
