That was a bug in x2goserver 3.1.1.7 and it has been fixed since  
3.1.1.8. However, UNITY is only properly available in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS  
(and the core developers only support LTS releases of Ubuntu actively).

It is a pity that unity-2d was dropped in 12.10.

No, the UNITY option in X2Go Client means: launch unity-2d. This works  
fine in 12.04. And I recommend using LTS for serious deployments of  
X2Go, anyway.

If Ubuntu sticks to going the OpenGL path and puts more efforts in  
supporting hardware acceleration than network transparency of  
graphical applications, then no, X2Go will not be able to go that path  
(with NX as technology).

I agree with Reinhard, this seems a bit far off still.
