NX 3.x was KVM based ( with enhancements ), thus the only viable remote
desktop protocols that I know of are KVM and RDP ( MS's Remote Desktop
Protocol ). Anything else really does not apply.
With today's network speeds I basically use KVM ( tunneled via SSH )
Even install in on my work MS Windows servers.
I would recommend trying to strike up a conversation on the NX IRC
channel and see if there is a way to get NX 4.x to do what you need. NX
is still the best solution, with VNC a fallback if there is no other way.

Up until now I've been using NoMachine version 3.X, and been happy
with it. However, version 4 is out now and wants you to connect to
the physical display (a pain when connecting to a machine that has
multiple monitors) rather than a virtual display, and while version 3
still works for me for now, I'm already having to use workarounds like
connecting to xfce instead of gnome.
So I guess it's time for me to look at other options so I can make a
switch before an update makes NX 3.X completely inoperable. As a
starting point, I was wondering what you guys use for remote desktop?
Sounds similar to something I was trying to work out as well. I was
looking at a way to use an old P3 laptop as a "remote, wireless
Xterminal", but as XDMCP seems to have been abandoned (and intentionally
removed from newer display managers), I would need to find something
that would connect to an exported/virtualized session and let me run my
applications within a full, exported desktop.
Don't like the overhead of VNC, and it seems clunky in many other
respects as well. Someone's suggestion was to use Spice, but from what
I can find it only works with full "virtual machines", and I am looking
to run applications in the host OS.
Doesn't solve your question, but perhaps it gives you some other ways of
looking at it. (Yeah, XDMCP would have worked great for me, if it was
still available, and exported sound).
