[X2go-dev] local apps on a thin client anyhow?

Hi,
I am just playing around with the older 
x2go thinclient debian packages and I wonder if it is possible
to add local apps (as in LTSP). I have not yet a clear understanding of
the x2go infrastructure, so please be patient.  What I tried: I switched
to a console on the thin client, mounted the homes via NFS, set
DISPLAY=0:0 and started an X app on the client - and voila, it appears
in the client's x2go session. But it is not managed by the
window manager since the window manager runs on the server. 
So it has no border and can'tmoved around etc.
Is there some better way to do this? Is it possible to somehow stack a 
local and a server window manager?
