Thanks for the suggestion! I am starting a new xfce session, and I am not bothered with the time that takes (XFCE starts up pretty fast anyway). But once the xfce session is established, simple tasks like opening a window, moving a window or typing text are rather sluggish in comparison to the VNC session over the same connection. For example, moving a terminal window works smoothly with VNC, but with x2go the window appears to be "jumping" along the movement. Then when typing into the terminal after the move, there is a delay in x2go until the letters show up in the window, while with VNC it happens immediately. I tried this with the default settings for speed and compression and with setting 4k for compression and LAN for speed but this did not make any discernible difference.
Maybe the compression is actually slowing down the whole thing when the internet connection is fast anyway? What would be the fastest setting for the algorithm? I am use 24bit colour with VNC how does x2go do this and can it be changed? (BTW I use the same resolution for both). I really like how easy it is to get x2go going over ssh and an ssh proxy but so far the slower speed makes me stick with VNC for actual work.
