I'm trying to configure a NoMachine remote desktop to run xmonad. One thing I keep running into is that the default xmonad installation instructions require logging out and logging back in. In a remote desktop app like NoMachine, there's no way to log out as a user -- only disconnect from the session.
I have the option to create a new Gnome, KDM, or XDM desktop, or a custom session which can do things like run a default X client script, or a custom command at startup.
Does anyone have experience with how best to configure this?

NoMachine software runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems, the minimum required versions are: Mac OS X 10.7.
A wide range of security features protects NoMachine users and their data. All communications are secured with SSL certificates to prevent data breaches. New connections are configured behind a firewall and NAT routers, and two-factor authentication is available to reduce the risk of unauthorized account access.
NoMachine is not available on Ubuntu 20.04 default repositories. Therefore, you need to download the DEB binary package from NoMachine For Linux Downloads page. On the Download page, select the version of NoMachine for your respective Ubuntu 20.04 system architecture.
When remote desktop gets serious, you need a serious tool to do the job. NoMachine satisfies any work-from-home (WFH) or enterprise remote access scenario and scales to fit your unique IT delivery needs. Be in control of your own data, hosted desktops, corporate computers and applications, where they're kept and how they're accessed.
I have been using nomachine nx client to connect from my mac to an ubuntu server for a while now and it has been a great experience. The most useful feature for me was the option to open up just one application on the remote machine, instead of a full remote desktop connection.
NoMachine for Everybody Go from your desktop to any NoMachine-enabled computer at the speed of light. Thanks to our NX technology, NoMachine is the fastest and highest quality remote desktop you have ever tried. Don't feel limited. Enjoy live audio and video from your remote PC. Your desktop is where you work.
Connection problems in Macs may be caused by local extra user account "nx", created by installing Desktop version instead of Client version of NoMachine. The extra user account may persist even after replacing Desktop version with Client version. Installing Client version and removing extra user account in local Mac solves the issue.
If you want to just run a plain xmonad session (and not, for example, use xmonad as the window manager of, say, GNOME), then it should suffie to use the option of running a custom command at startup, and simply make that command xmonad.
