This sounds like a problem I have encountered. Please try the following
patch which I posted to the list earlier in the year. Note that if any
sessions are running when you apply the patch you should use install
rather than directly patching the running nxserver. Users will have to
restart their sessions before the change will take effect--but there
should be no more problems on the restarted sessions.
