[FreeNX-kNX] Problem Resuming Session

[Nick]

Thanks Terge. I've read all (I think) the threads on this mailing list 
about the issue but there does not appear to be a resolution. Did you 
ever find a solution or do you just "live with it" ?

Most useful thing I've found is a post from Fabio Rosati suggesting it 
may be an issue with FreeNX server. I would tend to agree as the problem 
does not exist if I use the official server.

As this seems to be a known bug (I've now found at least 4 threads 
reporting it) is there any chance of it being fixed in an upcomming 
release of FreeNX?

Thanks. Nick
