The term 'Remote desktop' usually refers specifically to the MS-windows 
implementation, where NX/freenx are just X applications with some 
proxy/stub/cache layers at both ends to improve performance with high 
latency and allow disconnect/reconnect.  There may be some quirks in the 
cross-platform NX/nx clients but generally you wouldn't know the 
difference compared to being at a console.  If you don't have latency 
and don't care about reconnecting, you can just enable gdm logins and 
start your local session with:
X -query remote_host
to run the desktop on a different machine using only native X 
capabilities.  Or run another desktop in a window with Xnest. All of 
which is mostly unrelated to the main point of being able to run a 
remote (to where the desktop/window manger runs) application in a window.
