No, it will only create plasma-widget-x2go because there is no plain 
"%files" section.

Because the Fedora Naming Guidelines ties naming it to up upstream 
tarball name or project name.  The upstream source tarball and project 
is x2goplasmabindings.  They seem to do this because they have 
x2gognomebindings, x2golxdebindings, etc.  I have yet checked the name 
of the binary packages produced from them.
