the client will be moving into the extragear modules. this has a number of 
advantages, including the ability to do releases whenever appropriate rather 
than when KDE is released. this will allow the client to follow the server 
development schedule better. i'm waiting for the extragear rearrangement 
before moving it over, however.

for it to not be half-assed, the integration needs to occur in a number of 
places in kdelibs and kdebase. it means being able to know when we are in an 
NX session or not (both libs and apps using those libs), and it also means 
being able to use NX sessions as transparently as X-over-the-network can be. 
it means making kdesktop a lot more network aware than it is right now, etc, 
etc... this isn't a 6 month minor release project, really, especially since 
i'd prefer this to be done in such a way that it easily augmented with 
support for other protocols that may arise. this means the changes are fairly 
non-trivial. kde4 should be a good vehicle for this development.
