Yes! Exactly the same symptoms here. Helpdesk has to zap the user's old
session and the instances of firefox, openoffice etc. that were running
on it so that they can start them on their new session.

See my previous mail for detailed notes on how I was able to repeat the
problem on a Windows Vista laptop. It is a bit subtle, since the first
time you resume the session after suspending, it works apparently fine
(unless you check the output of nxserver --list and notice that your
session has vanished). It is the second time you try to resume the
session that you see the problem.

In our case it happens every time you suspend the laptop with the nx
client running.

I think that's three of us now who are having this problem. We should be
able to get to the bottom of it. I can't do any more testing until I get
a Windows laptop (I'm not sure if it has to be vista) to play with,
probably not until next week. Meanwhile I will be keen to hear the
results of your investigation.
