+ ===== Desktop Environment Compatibility =====
  
  <note>This page is about compatibility with X2Go Server, not with X2Go Client (or PyHoca-GUI or PyHoca-CLI.)
  
  X2Go Client should be able to run under any and every X11-based desktop environment. Wayland-based desktop environments need testing.</note>
  
- === Explanation ===
+ ==== Explanation ====
  X2Go's "X Server" is called "nxagent". It is part of the nx-libs package.
  
  As of version 3.5.0.x, nxagent is forked from the X.org 6.9 codebase
(from 2005.) Therefore, there are 4 reasons why certain modern "3d-ish" desktops are incompatible with nxagent, and therefore X2Go.

  Ultimately, addressing issues #1 and #2 requires a lot of work. Solutions are discussed [[wiki:development:new-feature-brainstorming#nx-libs|here.]]
  
  It is recommended to switch to using a compatible desktop environment if your desktop environment is listed below as incompatible.

    - LXDE (not LXQt)
    - XFCE
    - MATE
  
  <note tip>MATE (the fork of GNOME2) is not included with certain distros, such as Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04. You can however install it from http://mate-desktop.org/ on those 2 versions of Ubuntu and on other distros.</note>
  
  <note important>Ubuntu 14.04 includes some MATE packages, but not enough of them to provide the MATE desktop environment. See the above note about
installing MATE on Ubuntu 14.04.</note>

    * IceWM
  In X2Go Client, you must specify the Session Type as: Custom Desktop: icewm-session

+ === GNOME ===
    * GNOME 2: Compatible and no workaround required
    * GNOME 3.0 through 3.6: "GNOME Fallback Mode" must be installed. This is included with most, if not all distros.
    * GNOME 3.8: "GNOME Flasback Mode" 3.8.x must be installed. It is seldom included with distros. There are bugs with it. Using GNOME 3.8 with X2Go is not recommended.
    * GNOME 3.10: "GNOME Flasback Mode" 3.8.x may be compatible, but there are even more bugs with it. It is seldom included
with distros. Using GNOME 3.10 with X2Go is not recommended.
    * GNOME 3.12 and later: TBD, but probably not compatible. Using GNOME 3.12 and later with X2Go is not recommended.
  
  <note important>GNOME Classic Mode is not the same as GNOME fallback mode or GNOME Flashback mode. GNOME Classic Mode is not compatible with X2Go.</note>

    * KDE 3: Compatible and no workaround required 
    * KDE 4: Compatible and no workaround required

- == UNITY ==
+ === UNITY ===
    - Ubuntu 12.04: Compatible, as long as package "unity-2d" is installed. By default with "Ubuntu Desktop", it is.
    - Ubuntu 12.10 and later (including 14.04): Not compatible
  
- == Cinnamon ==
+ === Cinnamon ===
    - Cinnamon 1.4 (Linux Mint 13 "Maya"): Compatible, you must specify the Session Type as: Custom Desktop: gnome-session-cinnamon
    - Cinnamon 2.2 (Linux Mint 17 "Qiana"): Not compatible. Cinnamon reverts
to "fallback mode", which is not as good as regular "cinnamon" nor "cinnamon2d". If you wish try try it in anyway, specify the Session Type as: Custom Desktop: cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d
  
  Compatibility issues with Cinnamon are being tracked in bug [[http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=150|150]]

  However, bug [[http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555|555]] (Windows cannot be moved by dragging) was encountered, and not much testing has been done.
