For my self, I do abond in this sense.

Because, do you think, that the name should refer to the X protocol. How 
many people does know about this ? not that much in my opinion!

_I think that the name should contain information for non expert_

I do propose the name V.L.S.C. which stand for


          Very Long Screen Cable


Here is my motivation:

As a sysadmin of the Geneva Observatory, I have the duty to find words 
which explain in a comprehensive/fast way what a software is for.

So I just tell them:

  - Hey men, this software allows you to connect to your main station 
from everywhere.
  - Like for instance:
  - Imagine that you are at work.
  - And you use FreeNX from your machine to your machine (you don't see 
the point.. then wait)
  - FreeNX is just like the cable of your screen, nothing more !
  - When you log out from FreeNX, it is like pulling away your screen cable.
  - Your applications still run on your machine, But you can not see them.

And now, listen to the beautifull:

  - Imagine that you have to leave your work to go home
  - But you have to finish your job too.
  - So now you would like to pull a VeryLongScreenCable from your work 
to your home to continue your work
  - Then...
  - Just use FreeNX at home, and you will get your screen back as you 
left it at your job
  - The application will be there as if you will be at your work !
  - Now... I'm sure that you _do_ see the point... do you ? :)
  - And unbelievably, it is damn fast and really clear.



Well this was the explanation, on how this VeryLongScreenCable come from.


I've also made some icon by hand (sorry no glossy icon with svg :( ) 
that you can see on my blog:
