Thanks for the response.
I'm looking for a less intrusive method, so that the first session is not NX 
related at all, and that I can stop the nxserver anytime. I'll be using that 
session 95% of the time. I'd like to be able to connect and see this desktop 
from a remote NX client. 
Maybe this is also not sharing pre-se, so sorry about the confusion.
