   The FreeNX FAQs say that one can use things like x11vnc, but it is
not clear how (if at all) one can do that in conjunction with the NX
technology. The somewhat unwieldy NX FAQs say that that's in the
works.

   Hmm.... I think that, after all, both FreeNX and NX are not yet
mature enough. This is not a critcism, mind you - I just want to be
able to use the package, and at this point it has yet to meet my
needs. I'll look into it again in a few months. In the meantime, I'll
stick with VNC/x11vnc.
