It seems it's a general problem mith FreeNX 0.4.4 and nx-1.5.0 - VNC 
sessions just don't work in this cobination, with symptoms similar to yours.

I asked several times here about this VNC issue, but besides other 
people reporting it doesn't work for them, noone confirmed that VNC 
sessions actually work with FreeNX 0.4.4 and nx-1.5.0.

Noone confirmed that it is a non-issue with commercial NX, either.


I also asked at several Linux and distro specific mailing lists / 
distro-devel mailing lists, but *noone* confirmed that VNC works with 
FreeNX 0.4.4 and nx-1.5.0.
There were people reporting that VNC doesn't work since they upgraded to 
FreeNX 0.4.4 and nx-1.5.0 though.


So IMHO VNC just doesn't work with FreeNX-0.4.4 and nx-1.5.0 (Windows 
Terminal Sessions and X-sessions work fine), and the only way to resolve 
this issue is to downgrade to FreeNX-0.4.0 and nx-1.4.0.


If I'm wrong, and there is a way to make VNC work with FreeNX-0.4.4 and 
nx-1.5.0, please correct me.
