I was not able to install x2goclient on a box that has freenx
installed due to conflicts.

According to the x2go FAQ ( http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:faq ) :

"Even though X2go uses the same libraries, X2go aims for an even
greater integration into the Linux environment. It’s not possible to
use NX client to log on to a X2go server and vice versa."

I attempted to connect to an x2go server using OpenNx but that did not
work. So, if one wants to use x2go in the environment where freenx is
widely employed, very good testing / planning would be necessary.
