I managed to get X2Go Server (main, 4.0.1.18) to install and work on CentOS 5.

However,
1. After I installed, the packages, I had to manually apply the patch
I submitted for bug #715 to /usr/sbin/x2godbadmin, then manually run
"sudo /usr/sbin/x2godbadmin --createdb"
2. I had to manually apply the change to /etc/x2go/Xsession from this commit:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blobdiff;f=x2goserver-xsession/etc/Xsession;h=94692db9680637fcddca34e461d8ef289869e6cc;hp=b9ef15e32703560c7d592e6d170740322e0ae17d;hb=33a64a3e7b94d04d1e72de2a81db04b86432c7c5;hpb=c3c2e3d284ee523f168d91fce5b1a7d82189d039
3. I had to solve a "dependency hell". I do not have time to document
the exact steps one needs to take at this moment, but the dependencies
are listed here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver?s[]=epel&s[]=5#epel_5_via_packagesx2goorg
(I actually ignored the fuse, fuse-libs, and fuse-sshfs packages
because I do not use folder or printer sharing.)
So right now, you can use X2Go Server on CentOS 5, but it will require
some work on your part to repeat those 3 tasks on your systems. I
intend to streamline those 3 tasks next weekend.
