Thanks.  I've put the 0.5.0 scripts into place, and everything does seem to be 
working with the use of the 2.0 NoMachine Windows client.

Something odd that I've noticed, though:  When I enter my login information 
and hit connect, it eventually brings up a window that shows me "Available 
sessions."  It lists two, one with a status of "N/A" and one with a status of 
"Running."  Hitting "Refresh" doesn't get rid of them.  There aren't any 
sessions running at this point in time.

Any idea what's causing that, and how to clear it out?  It doesn't get in the 
way; I can just click on the "New" button and away I go. :-)  But it would be 
nice to get rid of that extra "information" when it's not needed.
