I don't know where on earth you found that the path of nxclient binary
is hardcoded. Please, could you point me to the code where it is done?

The location of nxclient binary can be specified in the NX_CLIENT
environment variable. Nothing constrains you to call it 'nxclient',
it can be called as you like.

Every time nxagent needs to display a dialog box, it uses nxcomp
library, that retrieves the nxclient binary location from the
NX_CLIENT variable.

If you guys had read the code - instead of whining - as developers
are supposed to do, you would have realized these things.

We are becoming tired of guys spreading disinformation and FUD.

Wouldn't it be better checking the facts, rather than talking about
word of mouth?
