[FreeNX-kNX] Successful connection, but then nothing?

[zaven]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone here can help, since I'm *so* close to having this
work :-) I have nxclient 2.1.0-17 on my RHEL5 box, and nxserver
1.4.0-44 on my FC4 X station. I access the server by tunneling through
a trusted gateway like so:
    ssh -L 1234:Xserver:22 me at gateway

Everything seems to work fine; I can authenticate successfully and the
vxclient GUI closes after displaying [Established X server
connection].  Then I see a new window with a list of current sessions.
(I can even successfully terminate an existing session!) I select
"New" to make a new session. The problem is... I never see a desktop,
or any windows, or any visual clue that anything has happened.
vxclient returns rc=0. If I select "run the console", I don't even get
a console window.

I've tried both floating window- and virtual-screen-mode.

The only weird line I'm seeing in runlog is:
[Tue Apr 3 23:24:54 2007]: Received line from nxssh process [NX> 105
/usr/bin/nxserver: line 880:  6457 Terminated              ( sleep
$AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT; exit 1 )
] with code [105]

Any clues here? What am I supposed to do to actually see my desktop? TIA...

Below are the last several lines of my runlog:
