Did you fsck after cloning ??

You could try creating a new user on the clone and seeing if that
account has the same problem.

I can't quite see why the agent would be segfaulting.

You say you re-installed the
                 NX libraries (which supply nxagent)
on the server ??



If you log into the server locally, start a terminal session and run
         nxagent :2001
then in another terminal
        su -l to-a-different-user-account
and run
        export DISPLAY=:2001
        startkde
you will get a minimalist nxagent session (with lots of kde
status in the another teminal session)

See if the agent falls over.
