this is a thinstation problem ( I had the same one, I should know). Try
setting the resolution to 24bits colors instead of 16bits like for the
remote desktop/citrix sessions.

client. We have some low end hp thin clients (sorry, not at work so I cannot
check the model) but they do have 64MB for video. Performance for nx is no
problem for browsing or openoffice.
