I am happily running GNOME Flashback with the FreeNX server, and nx-libs from the X2Go stable PPA, on multiple Trusty terminal servers and it has been quite stable. The gnome-session --disable-acceleration-check option is needed, and also bug 1416081 has to be fixed to stop unity-settings- daemon from crashing. I have uploaded all the necessary patches to ppa:rtandy/flashback and attached them to these bugs. In the PPA I also patched gnome-session-flashback to use --disable-acceleration-check, but it's not really necessary -- just for symmetry :).
Attached is the FreeNX config file I use. Note it relies on the Upstart session job to pass "--disable-acceleration-check" to gnome-session. For X2Go, /usr/bin/x2goruncommand has to be adjusted similarly; I will follow up to their tracker (http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774) soon. I hope these patches can be considered for vivid, and maybe for trusty/utopic SRU as well.
