[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX/VNC: problem with URI-encoded password

[Martin Wilck]

Hi,

ad had the following problem with FreeNX server: I was trying to connect 
to a password-protected VNC server, where the password contained a dot 
("."). The login always failed. I realized that the passwd passed to 
nxserver ($agent_password) was URI-escaped ("%2e" instead of "."). The 
attached simple patch - unescape the passwd before passing it to 
nxpasswd - fixed the problem for me.

SW used: on client !M nxclient-1.5.0-135 (rpm on SuSE 9.1).
on server NX-1.5.0-16.1, FreeNX-0.4.4-3.1 (SuSE "supplementary" rpms).

Unfortunately, even with that problem fixed, the VNC sessions over 
FreeNX didn't work well for me. The transmission is much slower than 
direct tightvnc and session crashes often. Any hints for that? Direct 
nxagent connections work very well.

Regards
Martin
