Some questions, i'm a little bit confused now.
Quoting Kurt:
[...]
Also, some of the code which makes GUI messages appear
to the user interface are embedded in the client.
[...]

The entirely question was: "Do i need nxclient on the server machine? (And 
why)
Kurt sad "Yes, you need it" if i want to have full server functionality. That 
means for me if i have not installed nxclient on the server machine then i 
have no message boxes on the users client. 
You sad that "nxclient is also used to DISPLAY the dialogs interacting with 
the server, as for example the broadcast messages that nxserver can deliver 
to all the connected users or the "Close/Suspend/Cancel" dialog." That means 
for me that this is doing the client running on users terminal. (who should 
do that anything else).

Well, the whole thing means for me if i have installed all the necessary libs 
i could work without a client on servers machine. Fabian has written an 
"client fake" which is working with xdialog, most probably to display 
messages on users Xdisplay, and that means i need such one (nxclient or a 
"xdialog2users_interface_redirector") to have messageboxes on users side.

I think i need both, the libs and the client fake (or the client with shipped 
libs), is it right?

Sorry, this should never be such never ending story.

Next question: nxagent won't start because of missing fixed font. I have no 
debugging output because of terminating freenxserver when starting with 
LOGGING=1, the main problem ;-)
I think nxagent is looking for fixed font on servers side (nxsever, not 
X-server), is it right?
