I use x2go from home all the time to effectively get to my desktop
at work. The problems I have are all related to gnome developers
constantly making the gtk toolkit fail to function under x2go.
When things work, they work really well, but when they break,
it is hard to work around. I always have to rebuild emacs from
source to remove the gtk3 dependence so I can use it in x2go
on my fedora system (as one example). I've been considering
installing and configuring virtualgl to provide the 3D support
gtk3 seems to insist on, that should work on my desktop with
a real video card on the native display. It probably wouldn't
work in a virtual machine though.
