[FreeNX-kNX] freenx hangs

[hypo]

ok some more information:

When this happens, Vista Aero transparency and effects go away. Also got the
following message

"The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to
temporarily change the color scheme to Windows Vista Basic.

Program: NXWin.exe
Publisher: <Unavailable>
Proces identifier (PID): 3748

Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Vista
Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no
longer running"

Once i exit NXWin using the method described above (or by killing it in
process mananger) Aero comes back. Hope this can help someone narrow down on
a fix / workaround.

thanks!
