Thank you. So, if I may ask here, is there any other remote desktop software that supports composition (and easy to use)?

Unfortunately with Unity you have the same issue. Canonical hasdropped Unity-2d support so that's a problem with X2go (and NX) as well.

Thank you for the reply. gnome-shell --version reports 3.10.4 and gnome-session --version returns 3.9.90 with no composite extension in the server. I am not an administrator of the remote server, so it seems that I have to give up gnome. What about Unity then? It's the default GUI for ubuntu.
PS: Mate desktop works but I don't know how to play with it.

If the server is a modern Linux with Gnome 3 this will happenbecause Gnome 3 uses a compositing desktop not compatible with X2Go.
For me the fix was to install Mate desktop on the servers which is afork of Gnome 2 and is compatible with X2Go.

Hi,
I installed the latest X2Go client, but it only works with KDE. When I tried to launch Unity and GNOME desktop, they always fail. To be specific, when I selected Unity, the desktop just flashes and disappear. When I selected GNOME, I got a black desktop window and VcXsrv reports an error saying "Cannot establish any listening socket - make sure an X server isn't already running". The contents of VCXSrv.0.log is:
_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet6 _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running(EE) (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
I have no idea how to check if any X server is running on my computer. All the settings of X2Go are default. The remote machine is ubuntu 14.04. Any help? Thanks.
