[FreeNX-kNX] netcat on Ubuntu

I installed FreeNX from the Ubuntu PPAs yesterday.  It doesn't work.
After some debugging, I tracked it down to the five calls to "netcat"
to check if ports are in use or not.

For example:

   if $COMMAND_NETCAT -z "$SERVER_HOST" $AGENT_DISPLAY 2>/dev/null

That line will sit until the client times out.  I changed it to:

  if $COMMAND_NETCAT -w 1 -z "$SERVER_HOST" $AGENT_DISPLAY 2>/dev/null

And it now works.  What's the "official" fix?  Thanks!
