I am trying to run the client on a remote machine.
Does an X server already have to be running on the physical machine to use x2go? Do I want to be running in Desktop, Rootless, or Shadow mode, and how does one even select such a thing?
That depends on which "physical machine" you are talking about - client or server.
On the server (remote end), you do not need a running X Server. If it has a running X server, you can use X2Go to take over the :0 display, for remote support.
On the client (local end), you need some sort of X server. For Linux, it will be the one you're already running for your regular GUI session. For Mac OS X, you will use Xquartz. For Windows, X2GoClient ships with a free X-Server for Windows, but you may substitute your own.
Desktop/rootless/shadow depends on what you intend to use X2Go for. These settings are configured on the client, and can be set/changed individually for every connection you decide to set up (they're saved as "tiles" you can click on to start a connection).
I am really motivated, but the complexity of the system combined with the limited documentation (e.g. I see there are two x2gostartagent processes running, caused by my ssh connection to the server machine. What should happen next?) may mean that my hopes of using x2go may be dashed.
You did take a look at our getting started/first steps section in the Wiki, right? http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:usage:x2goclient#getting_started_my_fi rst_session_profile
