Such a thing as requested (X2Go client UI that looks like NX client)  
can easily be implemented with python-x2go. You just need a little bit  
of Python knowledge and a bit of knowledge in GUI programming  
(python-qt, python-gtk, pyside, wxPython). All the hard stuff that  
relates to X2Go session handling that is its client API implementation  
is covered up by Python X2GO (the underlying python module of  
pyhoca-gui and pyhoca-cli).

If any one is brave enough to start such a new project (an X2Go client  
that looks and behaves like NX client), I am happy to give support  
with the python-x2go integration into your GUI project.

I am also thinking of approaching such a project myself, but currently  
there are too many other (paid) projects that need my focus.

Greets,
Mike
