I ran into this today on Ubuntu 14.04 and wanted to just post some =
updates I found after digging around a bit. Essentially, this doesn=92t =
look like anything X2Go can fix. Since version 3.8, gnome-session =
refuses to start without 3D acceleration, which isn=92t possible over an =
X2Go session. Unless there=92s some workaround added to allow =
gnome-session without hardware acceleration, we=92re probably out of =
luck. One workaround is to use xfce instead. I haven=92t tried this yet =
myself, but I expect it would probably work fine.

Here are a couple of links with details:
