[FreeNX-kNX] Keyboard Layout using RDP connections

Hi Fabian,

I am using NX client for windows to connect to a RDP session through a freenx 
server on an ubuntu box. 
To solve the keyboard issue discussed in this thread, I run a "rdesktop-start" 
script from a "unix-application" type session, and it works.

Now, I am interested in automatic filling in of the password. At that time 
(one month ago) you wrote:

I have tried, but it does not work (unable to open session, invalid 
credentials). 

When I run "xterm" instead of "rdesktop-start" and I look at the exported 
variables, I have $agent_password, but its value is null.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Nicolas
