[FreeNX-kNX] Problem: WARNING! Cookie mismatch in the authentication data

Hi,

To start with, I'm a virgin to the nx world, but querying nomachines 
knowledge base doesn't revealed anything on this problem.

I try to get started on SuSE 9.3 with: 
FreeNX.0.4.1-1.1              
NX.1.5.0-9.1
knx.0.1-13       
the latter is from the distribution, the former two from 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/X/NX

I've called "nxsetup --install" on the server, and copied
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key from the server 
to /usr/share/knx/ on the client and chmod it to 644.

Running knx on the client notes in the relevant errors file:

Auth: WARNING! Cookie mismatch in the authentication data.
handleAuthorization: WARNING! Failed to match the fake cookie for FD#9.

I'm not sure, which cookie is meant here, but my .Xauthority files
on both machines are:

xauth list on the server:
localhost:1005  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  539f619dc9490f065958c4c134b0443c
localhost:1005  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  539f619dc9490f065958c4c134b0443c
server/unix:1005  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  539f619dc9490f065958c4c134b0443c

xauth list on the client:
client.bla.tld:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  539f619dc9490f065958c4c134b0443c
client/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  539f619dc9490f065958c4c134b0443c

Shouldn't the client list the server cookies also?

Any info missing?

Any pointer to resolve this is highly appreciated.

TIA,
Pete
