I suspect similar limitations apply to GNOME just like Unity, Both
desktops are OpenGL based compositors which don't probably play nice

Probably because something failed, forcing software rendering may help,

There is a library called VirtualGL, that can in theory help with
sharing GL based X connections over the network. NoMachince uses this,
