 	FWIW, OpenNX (http://opennx.net) seems to work fine, with a few 
caveats.  The latest release (0.16.0.729) crashes on Windows, but the 
previous version (0.16.0.725) works fine.  Also, you need to install 
XDarwin before using it on OS X.  But it does work.

 	In our case though, it was a non-starter as it provided no means 
to specify a font server, which we need to support some of our 
applications.  On Linux and OS X clients this can be worked around by 
running 'xset fp <whatever>' before starting OpenNX from the terminal. 
However, there's no way to accomplish that on Windows.

 	(We could have gone with OpenNX for our Linux/OS X clients and the 
now-ancient-but-still-functional NoMachine version 3 client for Windows, 
but that seemed too inelegant)

 	Sadly, it seems development on OpenNX is dead, but it is a fairly 
complete/mature implementation of a version 3 NX client that works quite 
well with FreeNX.
