1. Actually resizing or more precisely zooming, is supported - I've
shadowed by 1900x1200 session  from laptop with 1024x768 screen and it
worked, but the screen i got was heavily zoomed out, making text
almost unreadable (this was done with "as on server" option).
2. I would expect nxclient to report an error or something (via its
"details" button) - currently nxclient window just disappears several
seconds after you select a session to shadow, and I have to dive to
logs on a server to find out what's happened.

BTW, freenx-server logs are now much more helpful - many thanks!
