Not sure if you got an answer to this one, but as far as I know nx does
not have any inbuilt scrolling support, so what I would do is program my
window manager to size the nx window to the size of screen A and enclose
it with scrollbars.

Only problem is I don't think the gnome wm has the ability to do this,
so you might need to use a more fully-featured wm like fvwm.
