That depends on which "physical machine" you are talking about -
client or server.

On the server (remote end), you do not need a running X Server.  If it
has a running X server, you can use X2Go to take over the :0 display,
for remote support.

On the client (local end), you need some sort of X server.  For Linux,
it will be the one you're already running for your regular GUI
session. For Mac OS X, you will use Xquartz.  For Windows, X2GoClient
ships with a free X-Server for Windows, but you may substitute your own.

Desktop/rootless/shadow depends on what you intend to use X2Go for.
These settings are configured on the client, and can be set/changed
individually for every connection you decide to set up (they're saved
as "tiles" you can click on to start a connection).

You did take a look at our getting started/first steps section in the
Wiki, right?

Assuming local client that wants a desktop on a remote server, which
of the above would that be?  BTW I don't get a chance to click on the
tiles.  As the session starts, it asks for a passphrase (I put in my
private rsa key) and then it briefly shows a window which I believe
may be where those tiles are located. But it disappears almost
immediately and brings up another window with the session details,
which tells me I'm in a "Desktop" session.

Does the list accept screenshot images?

I did, and have double-checked it multiple times.

Thanks.
