   No, it's a separate package.  On an Ubuntu server:   
      
   $ sudo apt install x2goserver   
      
   on a client:   
      
   $ sudo apt install x2goclient   
   $ x2goclient   
      
   which pops up a GUI.  Create a new connection for 'server.example.com',   
   leave everything else the same.  It connects via SSH.   
      
   You probably want to fiddle with the 'Session type' options as by default it   
   starts a new KDE desktop for me.  Usually I switch that to 'Single   
   application' and 'Terminal' so I get a terminal window and can then launch   
   new windows from there.  eg if I run 'xclock' I get the clock in a new   
   window that operates like all my local windows.   
      
   It's a bit crashy, but often when it crashes you can restart the connection,   
   hit 'resume' and all your windows reappear.  That can also happen if your   
   network drops, you need to reconnect to get them back.  It's really handy   
   for laptops where you can leave something running on the server, suspend the   
   laptop, and then come back later.   
      
   (hmm, I wonder if it supports mosh which reconnects seamlessly for SSH...)
