Since 2005 there is a remote X project called X2Go. The main development is located in Germany, however, the user community currently is world-wide. The project has been very active during the last couple of years. Remote X with X2Go utilizes NX libraries for X compression, but the connection mechanism is completely different from NoMachine NX / FreeNX. People say it to be more secure as it does not need some dummy user for initial SSH authentication. X2Go works over normal SSH connection (user logs in via SSH, user can launch a session). Unfortunately, the server side of X2Go might never make it into Debian due to the great realm of criticism against nx-X11. However, the client-side is not touched of the discussion around nx-X11 and it would be lovely to see X2Go client-side apps be available for Debian wheezy. One of the applications (x2goclient) has already been uploaded and is available in wheezy with version 3.99.2.0. However, another client exists: PyHoca-GUI. PyHoca-GUI is based on an X2Go client API written in Python: Python X2Go. With Python X2Go you can easily launch X2Go based remote desktop sessions in a five-liner: Python X2Go has also lately been integrated with the software preview feature in Ubuntu's Software Center by Stéphane Graber. The advantage of PyHoca-GUI and Python X2Go towards the legacy x2goclient (x2goclient was the first client on the market) is that PyHoca-GUI fully supports multi-sessions and multi-server connections. It targets at power users (like sysadmins or other folks of people who work on several machines at the same time). The only application part visible on is a tiny system tray icon. The look'n'feel resemble the nm-applet (GNOME network-manager applet) look'n'feel. Also, the LinDix company in the Netherlands contracted me (as I am packager and part of upstream in one person) to customize the software for an SaaS solution. PyHoca-GUI is (since that contract) also capable to integrate a remote-X2Go-Server application menu in the system tray of a local desktop. Simply blending in some server-side (published) applications into your local desktop. Hopefully, someone has got interested in this piece of software (and in X2Go) now... We (the X2Go upstream project) would love to see as many components in next Debian stable.
