Frightening?  imo, it's completely wrong for an ordinary user to be able to
see when another user connects to the machine.  Of course it's correct to
be able to see if another user connects to your _session_ - but afaik I
can't do that with NX.

However, it appears _anybody_ can run the NX session administrator, though
perhaps they can only see their own sessions.

There isn't a way to get connection information in an icon in the Gnome
panel, though.
