Sorry, I have to apologize and do apologize here.

FreeNX was based originally on 1.3.2, which clearly had this hardcoded. 

I had overlooked the entry in the ChangeLog that this had been changed.
("due to the developer down time, which you clearly addressed in another KB article")

Of course as soon as I would have tried to implement it, I would see that it was changed and the $NX_CLIENT is a good solution.

Sorry, for the disinformation and FUD.

Still we will fork NX, because it gives the possibility to work with a stable branch of the software, so we can have a BASELINE like NoMachine has too and merge needed bugfixes and new features.

Also we won't whine then anymore, but just implement or change things we don't like.

I apologize again. I should have known better.
