Don't know which system needs this patch.

The timeout should be made configurable at node.conf

xdialog is ugly and most of people prefer nxclient dialog.
Maybe it can be made configurable at node.conf

Nice. I will include it on ubuntu package.

proxy_ip.patch

This patch is in the svn.

shadow_list_username.patch

Nice. I will include it on ubuntu package.

shadow_suspended_sessions.patch
>
> Make suspended sessions available for shadowing, instead of only running
> sessions.

I really don't like the idea of shadowing a suspended session.
But probably should be made configurable at node.conf.

This should be moved into nxacl. That is the fine grained permissions file.

valgrind.patch

Don't think much people will actually use it.
