...if the red !M window top does indeed display the :1000 string too  ;-)

I do not know at all why this is so weird on your systems. Maybe 
Fedora has a custom wrapper script to startup KDE? By default, NX
and FreeNX look to execute "startkde" for bringing up a KDE session.

Dan, instead of ssh-ing into the box, what about defining a "Unix -->
--> Custom" session type, with the "Settings... --> Run the following
command:" set up to "gnome-session" ?

Does that help your case?
