They perform different functions I understand...

freenx/nx cannot easily connect to the native desktop on a remote machine
unless I have misunderstood the information I have read.

freenx/nx is good for running a second X session on a remote machine...
but desktop sharing (which is needed to help people fix desktop issues
remotely) is not, I believe, easy to achieve using it, apart from 
connecting to a remote vnc session.

Of course someone may well respond and explain how desktop sharing
(to enable remote help over ssh tunnel) can be done with freenx/nx
alone (and no vnc) - but I never found documents to say that this
functionality was possible with freenx/nx
