- Also, you can run NX over a ssh tunnel:
- $ ssh -L 2200:destination:22
- In NX, set server to localhost, port to 2200

NX + Compiz = grey screen
I use NX in Ubuntu 8.10, but my normal settings (remote xterm) result in a grey screen. While I have not yet discovered the incantation to disable the compiz grey screen in Ubuntu, it turns out that there is a workaround: Disable X Agent encoding via NX Client -> Configure -> Desktop -> Settings. After that, no more grey screen of annoyance.

NX connects over an SSH tunnel to begin with. Double-encrypting doesn't help much.
However, thank you for the tip about disabling X Agent Encoding, it helps a lot!
Yes, but it was easier to setup the ssh tunnel, and then have NX use the tunnel, rather than try to expose ssh authentication in NX, since the tunnel required multiple ssh hops to setup.
