Thanks for your comment.
Thats a pity. Our research group are long time KDE on Fedora users and
its good if people can have the same desktop experience both on remote
(x2go) and local (desktop) logins.
I did notice that the development/22/x86_64/os/Packages tree has the
packages:
kde-workspace-common-4.11.16-7.fc22.noarch.rpm
kde-workspace-devel-4.11.16-7.fc22.x86_64.rpm
and had hoped that there might there be some legacy kde4 desktop support.
On closer examination now I see that the common package only contains a
few text files and there is no kde-workspace package as such.
Oh well, I guess there is always F21 to keep us going for a few more
months. From what I read on the x2go lists (IIRC) there will be a big
project to update the X11 server in x2go to something modern which will
support KDE 5 but there is no timescale for that as of now.
Looks like we may be moving to EL7 then to stay with kde4 for now.
