I have just committed a set of patches for x2goruncommand that does  
the following:

   - cmd in ('unity', 'UNITY') and Ubuntu is precise or later
     -> rewrite cmd to ,,gnome-session''

   - cmd in ('gnome-session, 'GNOME') and Ubuntu is precise or later
     -> rewrite cmd to ,,gnome-session-fallback''

This seems to work.

However, I have troubles with X2Go window resizing, esp. when running  
a Unity session (I use pyhoca-gui as client).

Maybe my approach given above is not as clean as your ruleset, but we  
can ignore GNOME3 (compiz shell) and Unity (compiz shell) for X2Go  
anyway (IMHO). We rely on the fallback sessions to be supported in  
future and to become more and more stable.

Greets,
Mike
