Well, x2go uses NX as underlying technology. Upstream's statement
regarding this reads:

TL;DR: this will not work. For now, my personal suggestion is to use
xubuntu or kubuntu instead.

I think it is still much too early to speculate about this. A
preliminary remoting protocol is still in early drafting state and we
have to see how the details about this are going to work out.

Have a nice weekend.
