Hey all,
   2 more questions regarding freenx.  I've searched google, but can't
seem to find much info on them.
   1.  I can't get multimedia (really only interested in "sound") to
work.  maybe for some people, it "just worked", but for me it just
didn't.  theres not a whole lot of info (and i've tried it what is there) at
http://www.nomachine.com/howto/sound-conf.php . Any one else got this
working that can shed some light?
   The distro I'm running is ubuntu hoary, but I think the problem is
more distro-agnostic.  I'm trying to connect from a debian machine to
the ubuntu server and get sound to come back through.
   One thing that obviously seems wrong is that my gnome session adds
the volume-control applet to the gnome-panel, controlling the sound card
from the server.  additionally, the gnome-session fires up esd, but puts
no options other than '--nobeeps' on it.
   2. Is there a way to have sync the copy and paste buffers between the
machine running the nxclient and the session inside that client?  In VNC
there was an option in the menu that could do this, is there some way
you can do it with nomachine/freenx ?

   I would have thought both of these would have been FAQs.  I swear
I've tried to RTFM I just can't find it.

   Thanks in advance.
   Scott
