Can anyone comment on the best remote GUI approach for C7 yet? X2goserver is in epel but when I tried it on the RHEL beta it only worked with a KDE desktop due to the 3d requirement of Gnome3.

I toyed around with FreeNX on a Fedora (17 maybe?) system some time ago.
I had to modify a few settings so GNOME3 would default to classic/fallback mode. -- set COMMAND_START_GNOME to "/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome"
There is also a bug [0] where the session didn't get set properly and the display mode. -- use Ctrl-Alt-R to get into desktop resize mode -- in my case I had to hit that key sequence twice
[0] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838028
Maybe a few of these bugs(?) will get resolved now that GNOME3 is the default for EL7 along with FreeNX...
Please give these suggestions a shot and report back! I haven't pursued this further due to lack of time and shell access is all I really need. ;-)

Gnome3 still doesn't work with the default configuration but MATE desktop is now in EPEL and seems to work nicely (just like gnome2).

+1 I have x2go working with mate and xfce, xfce had a dependency issue but has since been corrected and works also.
