If we could, we would have done that a long time ago ...

Well, it needs to be called nxclient, because nxagent is searching for that exact file in path with option dialog. I dunno why the hell they did not just call it nxdialog and then run it via nxclient ...

Its just another one of those annoying things NX ships hardcoded with.

Leopold did convice me though now that slh is and always has been right.

We need to have our own version of the NX tree, which we merge with new upcoming NX versions, when we are actually ready.

Merging it also has the huge advantage, that changes are easier seen and can be applied to the server / client code base too.

I however disagree that that should be 1.5.0, which 2x NX is based on. I would like to do the fork() with 3.0.0 as that has all features I ever wanted _and_ is based on x.org, which gives it slight chances of being not completely out of date, yet.

I'll talk with the 2x people, but I think it should be no problem to import the new version into their SVN.

Ok, that got really off topic here now and will go also into the release mail that will follow now.
