The Window containing your remote session is called x2goagent. The
Problem of localapps would be, that they would not displayed inside this
Window even if it is maximized, because it's got a complete different
$DISPLAY Number and the $DISPLAY is connected to the remote system - not
the local one.
As a result, it would not be possible to handle the window placing
correctly. A local app would be managed by the local window manager, all
x2go session application by x2goagent.
If you can live with those limitation, you can try to use NFS/SSHFS or
whatever as remote Filesystem for applications.
