I'm not sure that's true. I thought freeNX could have persistent
sessions too. There's an "ENABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION" option in the
config file, at any rate. I even vaguely remember trying it
once. Perhaps someone else knows more (or has access to a couple of
boxes they could test it on - I don't at the moment).

In any case, the freeNX client can connect to VNC sessions, amongst
others. Not sure whether that gives better performance than VNC
though.
