I'm currently using the RPM packages for nxagent, nxproxy, etc., that are 
provided by Mandriva (I'm running Mandriva 2006.0 Community).  The version of 
those packages is 1.5.0, and it's using the packaged version of freenx 0.4.4.

I discovered that the Windows client for 1.5 will work just fine with that, 
but the 2.0 client - not so fine. :-)

Question:  If I were to install this new 0.5.0 version of freenx and leave the 
existing nxagent, nxproxy, libxcomp, etc., packages in place, will that allow 
the 2.0 client to connect ok?  Or do I need to update *everything*, bringing 
the 2.0 versions of nxagent, et al, into play?  I suspect the later is going 
to be the case, but I wanted to get a second opinion. :-)
