[FreeNX-kNX] Weird Rootless Mode Behavior

[Brent Davidson]

Wanted to add some further data on this...  If I try to run ANY 
application in rootless mode, I get an empty window with no buttons or 
menus and the mouse disappears when I mouse over the window.  I've tried 
Firefox and GCalcTool.  Would it make a difference that Centos uses Xorg 
rather than XFree86?
