You need to have gnome-flashback for the newer gnome in Centos7 to workwith x2go, alternatively, you can install Mate which is a Gnome-2 fork ported to gtk-3 on Centos7 and x2go will work with it. It provides the same user interface as the Gnome-2 you are used to on Centos6.

Guys,
I'm using x2go server on a CentOS 6.9 box, kept quite upto date, and I have no problems connecting to it from both the desktop of that system, and from home when I'm connecting in from a Linux desktop. My versions are:
Server (Linux CentOS 6.9):
x2goclient-4.0.1.4-1.el6.x86_64 x2goserver-4.0.1.20-1.el6.x86_64 x2golxdebindings-debuginfo-1.0.2.4-1.1.x86_64 x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.20-1.el6.x86_64 python-x2go-0.5.0.3-1.el6.noarch x2goagent-3.5.0.32-3.1.x86_64
Linux Client (Linux Mint 18.3): ii nxproxy 2:3.5.0.33-0x2go1+git20180204.776+8.main.1 amd64 NX proxy ii x2go-keyring 2012.07.23~jessie~main~17~build1 all GnuPG keys of all X2Go developers and the X2Go archive ii x2goclient 4.1.1.1-0x2go1+git20180302.1732+8.main.1 amd64 X2Go Client application (Qt4)
But when I try to use the latest client stuff from my Windows 7 system, I just get a connection which shows up for a second, then disconnects and returns me to the connection screen. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. But I'm loathe to upgrade my server just in case I break a working setup.
In the meantime I've built a new CentOS-7.4 system, which is using the same packages as my CentOS 6.9 server, but for some reason I just can't reliably connect there either.
Been following the mailing list for a while, since this is really my best option to be able to have my linux sessions travel around with me. But debugging has been a chore, since there are so many files and places which need to be looked into. And it's not clear WHY connections fail.
And actually, does RHEL/CentOS 7 with a Gnome desktop even work? Is there an issue with OpenGL like there is with VNC desktops?
Thanks, John
