I thought they are essentially the same in terms of funcionality. The NX
work came after VNC (don't know if technically you could call it a fork,
but no matter) and mainly improves the protocol for sending window
events and deltas back and forth, hence is a lot faster in many cases.

There may indeed be a difference in the case of the 'vnc' X module, but
I suspect an equivalent module could be developed for NX.
