<br><tt><font size=2>You could be 100% of the user base on centos6 ;)</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>OK, so the desktop isn't starting corectly (or fully).</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Did you check how far it gets - do you have a launch
script starting up ??</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Is it still "startkde" and "gnome-session"
in Centos6</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>i.e. (the defaults are actualy set by nxloadconfig)</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>#COMMAND_START_KDE=startkde</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2># The key that contains the name of the script that
starts a gnome session.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2># It's run when a 'unix-gnome' session is requested
by the client.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>#COMMAND_START_GNOME=gnome-session</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>or what do you have configured in /etc/nxserver/node.conf</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Which one are you using anyway ???</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Is it working ok without NX</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If so . . . .</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Try it with xterm instead of start kde or gnome or
whatever you are using.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>i.e. in the nxclient</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> <Gereral>(Tab)<Desktop>(section)</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>Check</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> <Run the follwing

<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>enter xterm in the text box.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>You can try with both</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> "New virtual
desktop"</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>and</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> "Floating
window"</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>in section "Options" just below.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>You should see a nice quick xterm window appear on
your desktop.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Try starting your desktop managerwithin that first
</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>and see what happens</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> (note it's better to have "New virtual
desktop" for that one !!</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> so you have
a root wiindow)</font></tt>
