[X2Go-User] Best client/server pairings for RHEL 6 server and linux/windows clients?

[Robert Dinse]

      You need to have gnome-flashback for the newer gnome in Centos7 to work
with x2go, alternatively, you can install Mate which is a Gnome-2 fork ported
to gtk-3 on Centos7 and x2go will work with it.  It provides the same user
interface as the Gnome-2 you are used to on Centos6.
