Please add the following to FAQ afterwards:

If nxagent fails to start the first thing to do is to test out if nxagent 
works manually:

Login into your NX server and enable SSH X11 Forwarding.

# ssh -X user at yourserver

a) If your FreeNX is in /usr/NX do the following:

    # LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/NX/lib" /usr/NX/bin/nxagent :1000

b) Else if its in /usr/bin or some other FHS structure do just:

   # nxagent :1000

Nxagent should now startup. If you do not have X11 fonts installed or it can't 
find it (X.org), it'll bail out with an error.

You can find help in the following KB-Article then:

http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR01C00124

If nxagent does startup fine, please take a look at the session log in 
~/.nx/C-<sessid>/session of the logged in user and report at the Mailing list 
and/or open up a Support Request at developer.berlios.de.
