Yeah, I _just_ found their compatible Desktops page (I have been reading some of their other wiki pages for a while). http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat The short of it is that many DE's are supported without problem and several of the DE's may require a bit of tweaking to get working, but at least they are trying to support them! :-) That and my fav DE right now (LXDE) is supported! [Too bad I can never get the libraries to compile right under SL6...it would probably guarantee I would run SL6 until 2020-09-30! :-D ] This x2go is really good news for me. I have a few use cases I want to test it out on. Especially that one project; I am kinda excited to rip out NX Machine 4 and replace it with x2go. I will have to run it through my dev environment first and make sure that the clients work well so it will probably be a few months, but getting rid of that PITA would make my life a lot easier. :-)
