[FreeNX-kNX] Resuming suspended sessions : Still not working

[Rob Thomas]

Hi Rick, 
Well I've still got this problem and always had this error with freenx
but I can't say I ever tested it with the 1.3.2 client. I tried going
back to the 1.3.2 client with freenx 2.7 but just got connection
timeout errors. As a workaround, although not ideal, I am planning to
use the undocumented nxserver --list-suspended <userid> function, as
mentioned in a previous post, to produce a list that I could
automatically kill through a cron job script. I would need to do some
testing though to make sure I'm not going to kill any live sessions
though :-).
Anyway thanks for your efforts in compiling the rpms as its made using
freenx so much easier. Also thanks go to the development team for
producing and supporting such a great tool.
Regards
Rob

I'm now getting this same error. It's possible I've had this a while, as
I don't do much suspending. I've tried going back to Freenx 0.2.5, and
NX snapshot 6, and every combination of Freenx/NX revision since then. I
am able to get a successful resume using the 1.3.2 client, but not with
1.4.0-57 or 1.4.0-75. I have completely removed every piece associated
with Freenx, NX, and nxclient from both system, and still cannot get the
1.4.0 series clients to resume properly. Anyone seen this problem?
