Compositing desktops are not supported by either NX or X2Go at this point
to the best of my knowledge, so the answer would be no.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

So, if I may ask here, is there any other remote desktop software that supports composition (and easy to use)?

I am not an administrator of the remote server, so it seems that I have to give up gnome. What about Unity then? It's the default GUI for ubuntu. PS: Mate desktop works but I don't know how to play with it.

For me the fix was to install Mate desktop on the servers which is a fork of Gnome 2 and is compatible with X2Go. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

When I tried to launch Unity and GNOME desktop, they always fail. To be specific, when I selected Unity, the desktop just flashes and disappear. When I selected GNOME, I got a black desktop window and VcXsrv reports an error saying "Cannot establish any listening socket - make sure an X server isn't already running". The contents of VCXSrv.0.log is: _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet6 _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running(EE) (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. I have no idea how to check if any X server is running on my computer. All the settings of X2Go are default. The remote machine is ubuntu 14.04. Any help? Thanks.
