[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX feature set.

I have been playing with FreeNX for a while now and have been unable to 
realize the claim that the FreeNX FAQ/Usage_Scenarios on Berlios make in 
saying that one can suspend a session on one computer with a certain 
display size and resume it on another computer with a different display 
size...

------------------- Quote ---------------------

    * You start a new session (unix-kde or unix-gnome)
    * You work with it and it runs fast (and even faster than VNC or
      shadow ;-))
    * You decide that you want to go home now, so you press ctrl+alt+t
      (if in fullscreen mode) or close the window

The session is now suspended and awaits you resume.
Okay, you go home now:

    * You login into your desktop and you have another fresh new session
    * You startup nxclient
    * You connect to the nxserver running on 127.0.0.1
    * You have your running session with all open programs again and see
      like a wonder the desktop stretches until all programs are fitting
      on screen again.

------------------- Quote ---------------------

This sounds pretty good but all I get is a session list with the resume 
button disabled. Can anybody clue me in here?
Alternatively does anybody have a real feature list that shows what is 
functional in FreeNX vs the Commercially available one?

Thanks for your time.
Doug
