This is a nice idea and one we have toyed with.  However, there are
several advantages to the web plugin.  I believe the plugin will update
automatically so it is less maintenance.  The plugin is a little easier
to install than a complete application.  There is the user perception
that X2Go can be run from anywhere without having to install a client
even though it really does.  Just a few thoughts - John
