[FreeNX-kNX] Blank Screen Failure - X & K Running Fine

[Info at quantum-sci.net]

Does anyone know how the client specifies to the server, which screen the remote display is supposed to be on?

Mine suddenly started trying to display on the server, rather than the remote.  Running KDE and Debian.

I connect, it authenticates, I get the logo then blank screen...  but on the server machine it pops up a window saying, "KDE seems to be already running on this display."  It seems as though it tries to start the KDE session on the -server's- X instead of the client's.

No one specified which nxnode file...  and that problem hasn't been reported since.  I tried the --display localhost:0.0 with the client, but it says " cannot connect to X server localhost:0.0".  Why, I'm connecting as the current user...
