[FreeNX-kNX] Rootless mode suspend

[Ed Warnicke]

That's cool ;)  Based on previous emails to the list I
thought 0.4.2 supported 1.5.0, but on careful review
I note it only supports 1.5.0 up to a particular RC.

It does seem though that FreeNX 0.4.x is incompatible
with the new nxclient even with the old nx-1.4.0 libraries...
