I've now migrated to NX 2.0 after all, replacing FreeNX'
NODE_AUTOSTART facility with a small daemon written in C
that uses the inotify API found in the Linux kernel to
monitor the NX data structures and detect a resume, then
kicking off a series of operations required by my setup.

While in the end I chose to go with a C-based program,
I did stumble over an interesting command line utility
while searching for a cron-like daemon to bind arbitrary
commands to inotify events: The "inotify-tools" can be
conveniently used from a shell script much to the same
effect, leveraging while loops to block for events and
keep running perpetually.

Perhaps it comes in handy for some.
