We take a slightly different approach - and that is exactly what it is - different - not better or worse. In our case, we want our users working in their virtual desktops all the time and the virtual desktops are all accessed across the Internet. Thus, we did not want users to have to leave their virtual desktops to open another X2Go session in shadow mode. Instead, we placed "share desktop" and "View Another Desktop" icons on their virtual desktops which use X11VNC to share the active desktop. Thus, all activity is from within the virtual desktops.
Since the VNC connection is inside the LAN (between virtual desktops), the performance is very good and we gain the Internet boost from NX for VNC just like we do for RDP when we push Terminal Server sessions through NX. Just another way for those with environments similar to ours - John
This sounds nice!!!!

It's actually very similar to the X2Go desktop sharing as I believe that also uses VNC rather than NX for the shadow session. The main difference is whether one shadows from one's physical desktop or one's virtual desktop. Thanks - John
