[FreeNX-kNX] Suddenly getting an error when starting up connection to FreeNX server

[Alastair Johnson]

This looks like the same error I see with one machine with the server on FC5. 
The other FC5 box runs the server just fine - see thread 'nxagent failure on 
FC5'. So far I haven't been able to find out why it works on one FC5 install 
but not the other. I think the failure occurs at:
	NX> 596 Session startup failed.
	NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1.
I think the missing file is a symptom of the session having failed since the 
file can be found in /var/lib/nxserver/db/failed/
