yes, I've been using the same user account at both the console and the
nxclient. and I also made a new  testuser account (completely new) on the
server, no difference: authentication but no desktop.

Also, in the NX

yes indeed, ssl encryption of all traffic is enabled. and --encryption="1"
shows  up in the "details" window on the client error message section for
the "startsession  ..." call

there's no proxy that I'm going through for either box (CentOS 5, 4.4). the
two firewalls do differ a little. the centos 4.4 one has these two lines in
iptables -L output
ACCEPT     ipv6-crypt--  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     ipv6-auth--  anywhere             anywhere

whereas 5 does not but instead has
ACCEPT     esp  --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     ah   --  anywhere             anywhere

and the centos 5 also has the line (which 4.4 does not)
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:ipp
