toolkits that do the rendering on the server (as opposed to pushing
X objects over the network and leave the rendering to the client)
X2Go does not perform so well. According to
http://vizzzion.org/blog/2013/07/the-next-kubuntu-graphics-stack/
Kubuntu 14.10 will ship with KDE Plasma Workspaces 2 (QT5) that
depends on wayland. Will x2go be relevant in this setup? the name
suggests a dependency of X. Obviously X will be around for a fair amount of time, but the new
KDE will not run on it.
X2Go only works with applications that run as X11 clients. The
x2goagent binary is an X-Server that the applications connect to when
started.
I cannot image that Qt5 fully lacks X11 support. Only thing is that
Ubuntu migrates to Mir (not Wayland AFAIK) and heavily pushses
resources into Qt development (as Unity and Unity Greeter will move to
Qt as widget framework).
If the upstream people of KDE decide for that path, then X2Go will
have to make it without KDE.
Greets, Mike
