Just minutes after I wrote the former mail to this list, I received info 
E-mailed to me personnally from NoMachine, telling me that the origin of the 
problem was found - and giving a possible work-around.

The problem lies in that SuSE10 apparently has a bug in xkbcomp - a bug which 
is not present in other SuSEs and definetely not in SuSE9. I just tried it 
out -and because the Linux box is only being used as an NX server, it really 
doesn't matter which SuSE is running on it. It works just fine.

So the matter is SOLVED now. So I humbly apologize for what I may have thought 
of NoMachine support before.
