I'll turn on as much logging as possible and post a follow up when I try 
it from work Monday. I *think* I remember seeing that the proxy had 
requested the session end, or words to that effect. I'll reply back when 
I've got more information.

Sorry about this one, I was being dumb. The simplest way I just found is 
to create a session for each application and tell the connection wizard 
to save icons to the desktop, assign them the icon I want and after the 
first time they're run (to get the username & password) they'll 
automatically connect and bring the application up, I'm not overly 
worried about security at the momment.  Although yes some form of 
application chooser popping up would allow for greater flexibility. I'll 
have a tinker with the various FreeNX files and see what I can coax it 
in to doing :)
