"GNOME3 fallback session" was removed in GNOME 3.8. "GNOME3 Classic Mode" was added, but it does require 3D.
GNOME3 fallback session It was re-released as GNOME Flashback, consisting of gnome-panel 3.8.0. https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeFlashback However, almost no distros include it, and it doesn't work with GNOME 3.10. I discovered that it doesn't work with GNOME 3.10 the hard way, see this thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.berlios.de/msg01641.html
Also, even when you do install it, "gnome-session" still checked for 3D acceleration. So you have to use the workaround mentioned in that thread.
Still, RHEL7 does use GNOME 3.8, so Gnome Flashback / Gnome-Panel 3.8 should work with it. If anyone can find that/those package(s) for RHEL7 beta, please reply to this thread.

Are there any tricks to getting an x2go session to work with the x2goserver package from EPEL for the RHEL 7 beta distribution? My first attempts asking for a gnome session from a windows client connect, open a window, but then display an 'Oh no! Something has gone wrong' error message instead of drawing the desktop. Is this because everything is beta and not quite working yet or am I doing something wrong?
GNOMEv3 will not work with X2Go. Use a more 2D'ish desktop shell instead (MATE, XFCE, LXDE, also KDE4).
I guess the gnome3 fallback session should work just fine. We "just" need to make sure to call it explicitly, just like x2go did in the past with prefering unity2d over the compiz based stuff.
