[FreeNX-kNX] Problems with Mac OS X client

Well, turns out the server is working fine.  I just got the windows 
client on another computer, and it ran great.  Except for a small 
problem I put in another post.
On the windows client, a window with my linux environment opened 
immediately.  On the Mac client a small application window comes up 
first with a list of sessions.  Only one is there.  And buttons at the 
bottom asking me to resume, terminate, cancel, new.   If I try to resume 
the session it times out.
Since the windows client works, it seems like something must be wrong 
with my Mac client.  I noticed that it only covers up to 10.3, and I 
have the newest OS X Tiger which is 10.4.something.  Could this be the 
problem?  If so when will a compatible one come out?  Maybe it is 
installed wrong.  When you extract the nomachine Mac client archive you 
get an application folder with the application and a usr folder with the 
rest of the stuff.  I copied them to their respective spots on the hard 
drive.  Writing to the usr directory was hard because you have to enable 
a root user and use the terminal as it won't show up in the finder.  I 
put the owner as root, and group as wheel to be consistent with 
everything else in that directory.  The owner and group for the NX 
client app under Applications show up as system and wheel in the finder, 
but are root and admin in a terminal window.  I don't know if 
permissions could be a problem in this app not running appropriately.  
Anyone got any experience with this?
Thanks,
Clay
