I have been unable to get X2go to work on a Centos 7 server. I have tried both the out-of-the-box GNOME desktop and the Xfce as well.
It won't work with Gnome. I believe that is due to the 3d hardware requirement. MATE from EPEL works, or KDE if you have that installed. Haven't tried Xfce - if it fails, are you sure it would work from the console?
the X2go client on Win7 works just fine with my Centos6 and Debian servers. I found no way to capture the commentary produced by the X2go client.
I haven't used it that much yet because the windows x2go client has a conflict with 'synergy' which I run to share the keyboard/mouse with an adjacent laptop (or sometimes two). So most of the time I'm still using NX with freenx on Centos6 hosts. But without synergy running it does work with MATE on the host.

Les: Xfce works from the VMWare console.
I installed MATE (no errors reported), and the x2go behavior is unchanged. The /var/log/messages file states /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: launching session with Xsession-x2go mechanism, using STARTUP="mate-session"
so at least 'mate' got used, I think.

Hmmm, now mine isn't working either. Maybe an update broke something. I'll try from home with a mac client later since that's the last thing I remember using that worked.

Looks like something broke between the 4.0.1.15-2.el7 package and the current x2goserver-4.0.1.18-1.el7.x86_64. I found a box with the older package that still worked, upgraded just x2goserver and now it fails too.
