Ah...mail latency ;-) I got this just after I sent the previous reply.

From the RPMs it appears you are using NoMachine's nxserver which is not the 
same as FreeNX. The configuration and debugging are rather different. There 
may be someone on the list who can help you, but I can't as I haven't used 
that server. These links may be handy.

NoMachine created the NX technology and libraries, and released them under the 
GPL. Their nxclient and a version of their nxserver are available free of 
charge, but are closed source. They will sell you more advanced versions of 
their server with support.

FreeNX is an open implementation of an NX server which uses the libraries 
NoMachine released, but is otherwise unconnected. It is community developed 
and supported, and is much easier to install on some distros than others. 
Luckily Fedora is easy - usually just:
	yum install freenx

Which one is right for you is your call, but don't try to have them both 
installed on the same machine as they probably won't play nicely.
