I took a look. It seems promising.

Btw. if you are working for debian, could you care a bit for FreeNX 
integration into debian? I have too much other things to do and would like 
packaging to be done by others.

You should add the following though, to be able to connect to a commercial 
nxserver:

Index: nxclient.py

             send ('login\n')

             # user prompt

Suggestions:

- - You should stick to use the same config files as the commercial nxclient. 
Its XML so not difficult to parse.

- - You (sh/c) ould use nxcompsh instead of writing your own C/C++-Library. This 
way implementation will be in a more generic way.

- - Please save at least the username in the config file. Typing in username and 
password each time is very nerving.
