That's X on the console !!

I can't see where that comes from.

It's not in the scripts from FreeNX.

Are you sure it wasn't .nX1005-lock  ??

Yup, it's just a nusance.

Hmmm

The likeliehood is that you changed something without noticing.

I guess that kde is not starting correctly.


Try running openoffice eg. oocalc directly instead of kde.

In the General tab on the nxclient, 
        change Desktop to Custom instead of kde.
        Click Settings
         and put /usr/bin/oocalc in "Run the following command"
                and select it.

When you connect, if you get the spreadsheet on its own, this 
would point to some kde issue.

The evdev keyboard driver maps keys differently to before, so the
NX libraries have to choose the appropriate mapping.

This was fixed in NX-3.3.0-11.

If you connect FROM opensuse 11.2 which uses evdev, you should
run into the problem, otherwise don't fix unbroken things unless 
you enjoy that sort of thing !!
