Write a PyHoca-Gui which generates a full HTML rendering of the session. Then the user just has to connect to it. The client and the server could be on the same machine, and the user will connect to the web frontend with his browser like with vlc or transmission.
I've been playing with the HTML tag "canvas" for a long time now. This is an area where you can draw primitives and can place images accurate. You even can use a "canvas" for animations. This is the only HTML element which can be used for the decribed purpose. The problem of this element is, that it can only be connected to servers via the typical "www" mechanisms. Even if you use the new websocket technology, you wont be able to rebuild the advantages of nx with those tools (yet). We would need to provide some additional tools as part of for example a XPI file (firefox extension), which would destroy the "browser only" construction and would be less powerful as our firefox plugin. There are some VNC implementations based on the canvas element, which you can test by yourself. Maybe it is an idea for you to access a virtual x2go display via an VNC server. This server could then be accessed by one of those solutions.
best Regards,
