[FreeNX-kNX] Running windows apps from nxclient

[Jeremy Wilkins]

Yes it should I believe, but it is much more complicated than that.  The
rdesktop program offers rootless mode and I believe that is what you are
referring to, but it doesn't hook back to NX like NoMachine's nxdesktop does
which causes a major problem when the rdesktop window wants to invoke a
child window.  The rdesktop program is currently being launched as a remote
linux application on the server since it is an unsupported method currently
by NoMachine.  It should possible to create a patch to permit rootless
single application execution, but I am curious the results of executing
child windows.  I'm sure a horde of bug reports will ensue for those that
use it.
