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.
