[FreeNX-kNX] nxagent failure on FC5

Take 1 clean partition, install FC5 with the 'web server' option, make sure to 
turn off SELinux, add a user, yum update, yum install kdebase, yum install 
freenx then set up client with the key and try to connect.

Result: it works. So it _can_ be as easy as that.

Now I need to find out what's different between the working and non-working 
machines. I'll report back when I have an answer...
