[FreeNX-kNX] Initial printing support added in CVS, FreeNX-0.4.0-pre1

More information regarding printing and my weird setup described below,

(1) When I log in using the username "freenx.username" to the FreeNX
server,

I instantly get the Box saying "We detected you had previously
configured a Driver".... etc, etc" and printing does NOT work

(2) When I log in using the username "username" to the NoMachine server,

There is a delay of about 10 seconds before I get the Box saying "We
detected you had previously configured a Driver".... etc, etc" and
printing works

Another weird thing related to having both servers on the same box is
when I log out of the NoMachine server after the initial authentication
has been done by the FreeNX server, I have two "zombies" left behind.
nxssh <defunct> and nxserver <defunct>
This does not happen when logging into the FreeNX server so I suppose
there is a bug somewhere in the exiting from the forwarded server.
(Normal users will never see this bug, only people like me)

I had to reboot the server yesterday after 191 days online as I could
not kill the 1200+ zombies. (They were so far down the "Top" page that
they were off the screen. I noticed things had slowed down and all my
swap was being used up, which led to me having a closer look at what was
going on)
