Yes, I asked the Fedora guys about why one of their packages still put
stuff in /usr/X11R6, and they said that it was for compatibility
reasons, and that it was a FreeNX problem not a Fedora problem that
FreeNX has problems if that directory exists :o)  As Kurt pointed out
though, it sounds like nobody developing FreeNX is running Fedora --
fair enough.

However the reference to /usr/X11R6 on Rick's page is obscure, and I had
to google a lot before I found out what I had to do.  I will update the
FreeNX wiki to reflect this info, since we now have two data points that
indicate that this is an issue.

FreeNX devs -- do you know what is actually going on with the presence
of /usr/X11R6 tripping things up under X11R7?  (I'm guessing it has
something to do with X resources not being found?)
