I also use x2go, but not gnome3 so I cannot speak to whether or not it
has issues with that specifically. NX has had issues for past couple
years with bad combinations of cairo + Xorg + NX libs causing weird
things like missing fonts in gtk+ apps and random crashing/stalling.
Latest version of x2go does not seem to suffer this problem, for now.

The official x2go-client is not as good compared to nxclient, in my
opinion, as far as managing connections and general look and feel and
behavior of the app, but once you're connected it works just the same.
I connect to my home computer from my mobile phone over 3G and the
speed is great, but too bad the screen is so small! :)
