Hi Adam,
CentOS 6; works with Gnome (from the OS) and/or IceWM. I don't know how successfully: some of our users are using it. We are not doing anything special, just installed it.

What distribution are you using successfully with x2go? And which desktop environment? I'm about to try implementing that myself... -Adam

Hi All,
That is perhaps a naive question. I have never had much tho do with desktops. Now, we offer remote Linux desktop (Gnome mostly) to users with x2go. Is there a way to configure GNOME (or another) desktop somehow locked to the particular users and perhaps even particular apps?
I.e., so that any Filemanager would stay under selected paths the user has access to? Access itself is not a problem, as it is controlled by UNIX groups, but just browsing say /home with a few thousand user directories gets slow and disk/CPU-intensive.
(Or perhaps the way would be to auto mount users, but thats a rather big change for the rest of the system too)
