Oh - NX runs entirely over ssh in the default setup. You don't need any
other ports and the whole session is encrypted. Plus it gives
reasonable performance over high latency and low bandwidth connections.
And you can still tunnel 'other' X windows into your freenx desktop if
you want - it is just a normal X session on that end.
