What I do (I know this is a very convoluted approach, but it works for 
me :D) is this.

I use a different user on my main workstation to login and I open a new 
NX connection for my main user under user2.

When I connect from another machine, it will use that nx session too.

This is not sharing as someone can not use the session from the other 
machine when I am in it, but in my case it works as I am the only user 
using that login.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
