<br><tt><font size=2>Well, there are no FreeNX developers.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>I'm just an admin user, much like you probably!!</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>FreeNX has a few "competitors", but they
haven't reached quite the</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>level of functionality, and certainly not the install
base, so despite</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>not being advanced and further, FreeNX continues to
be the main</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>opensource NX application.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>The "project" has fragmented somewhat, with
some ubuntu users doing</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>various patching of the FreeNX scripts, and various
others copying them.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>These scripts can be run on any distro.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Most of the functionality is in the NX binaries, which
come from the</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>opensource code provided by nomachine, the FreeNX
scripts setting</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>up and managing the NX sessions.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I expect the issue in your case is that you use kde
wheras ubuntu is really</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>gnome oriented (whatever they say, I guess 99.9% of
ubuntu installs</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>run gnome)</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>This means that your set up of rootless kde "applets"
has almost certainly</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>not been tested, and you are probably the only user.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Since my last posting, I tried recompiling the
latest NX libraries source</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>on ubuntu, but still got the same issue.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I haven't tried the latest kde on ubuntu , so you
might get somewhere if</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>you give that a go.</font></tt>
