I thought the NX 4.0 packages (free and commercial) have a runtime option to run either in 1) VNC type mode (default) or 2) light-mode (optimized for desktop and non graphics intensive). This was discussed in one of the nomachine hosted forums. I'm homeschooling my kids and wanted to give them access to mathematica/system modeler/and the full set of interesting apps installed here on the home gentoo server. I did end up purchasing the 4-user linux terminal server option here for only roughly $125/yr. I tested x2go first and while it performed fine for a single app but had too many issues in desktop mode or with overall usability.
