I had similar problems with freenx using it as a proxy to another windows
machine.

Installing newer version won't help you, this is not a version problem.

I didn't check this but according to an article I've read in "System
Administrator" magazine about FreeNX and Thinstation implementation, all you
have to do is add the following options and restart X server:

    Option "XkbLayout"	"us,il,ru"
    Option "XkbOptions"
"grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:lwin_switch,grp_led:scroll,altwin:menu"


Of course you should substitute "il,ru" with your lang, and do not forget to
use right alt+shift to switch the languages.

I don't know why there is a right alt+shift, I couldn't make left alt+shift
work, if you have a solution for that, please inform me.
