Yes it is.

We know.

A well working workaround:

You could start running your local session as an NX session, where
you simply connect NX Client to your client machine's IP address
(which needs FreeNX or NoMachine NX server installed, of course).
In other words (to make it overly clear): your one machine is NX
server to its own NX client.

Now, when you are moving to another place, just "take over" the 
running session on what was your previously NX client.
