I toyed around with FreeNX on a Fedora (17 maybe?) system some time ago.

I had to modify a few settings so GNOME3 would default to classic/fallback
mode.
-- set COMMAND_START_GNOME to "/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome"

There is also a bug [0] where the session didn't get set properly and the
display mode.
-- use Ctrl-Alt-R to get into desktop resize mode
-- in my case I had to hit that key sequence twice

Maybe a few of these bugs(?) will get resolved now that GNOME3 is the
default for EL7 along with FreeNX...


Please give these suggestions a shot and report back!
I haven't pursued this further due to lack of time and shell access is all
I really need. ;-)
