[FreeNX-kNX] NX Client with Windows 7

[Florian Schmidt]

Hi,

currently I have some minor problems with NX Client for Windows 3.4.0-5 and
Windows 7 and I haven't found any webpages addressing the problem.

First: everything works (basically) no crashes, no display problems, ...

The problem I found with Win 7 and NX Client 3.4.0-5 (latest) was that after
locking the screen and unlocking again Windows Aero doesn't work anymore.
After closing the NX Client Windows switches back from Windows Basic View to
Windows Aero View. At least for my Notebook this workaround fixed the
problem.

I replaced in the bin directory the cygwin .dll files with the files from
the newest version 1.7 (currently an beta release) but this was only half of
the way. As a second step I choosed in the nx session file the following
option in the Advanced Tab:
Disable DirectDraw for screen rendering

After theese changes/settings Windows 7 Aero also stays after locking and
unlocking.

If anybody knows this problem or even knows a better workaround or even fix
it would be great when you could reply to this mail on the list.

Cheers,
Florian
