If you install the

        linux nxclient from nomachine

on

        your FreeNX server

(and make sure /usr/bin/nxdialog calls it for the "pop up dialog"
instead of using xmessage) then it should work ok . . . .

nxacl is for re-writing session parameters, not an acl for
shadow sessions.

If you use the sample nxshadowacl from the web-site as you did
at first (and update it with your user id) then it should work . . .
