Closing the client window does not immediately terminate the connection,
but triggers the server to display a dialog where the user can choose to
suspend, terminate or cancel. It appears the problem is this dialog is
not being displayed.

I suggest checking /usr/NX/bin/nxdialog (maybe in a different place on
your distro) which is used to display this dialog: maybe it is not
working.

Also note that the versions of FreeNX and NX that you are using are
quite old. Getting the latest versions is recommended as there are many
bug fixes. I'm not sure whether it will help with this specific issue
though.

Finally, simply killing the client nxssh process has the effect of
suspending the session and could be a solutionm, at least until you
figure out why nxdialog is not working.
