Not sure what you mean here or how it can be seamless, since there's
no general requirement for the CPU or OS of the display to have
anything in common with the system running the application - unless
maybe it is java which doesn't need X for remoting.  On the other
hand, NX/x2go are running real X servers at the display end, so the
same things should be possible with a little variation in the plumbing
- and probably a loss of the ability to reconnect transparently.

X2go is approximately the same, just with open source clients and more
current development.   And if you've updated your Centos systems with
the EPEL repo enabled recently, you are already running their version
of the nx libs.
