I looked at the usermode docs, but it appears that the Windows client does 
not support usermode without significant hacking. nxssh and the like are 
compiled executables on windows. We need this to work from a windows 
client, and moreover one that we can somehow package up and have be a very 
simple installation. So I don't think this is going to work.

I'm going to try using Xming with Xlaunch instead, which is too bad 
because the performance benefits of NX really do live up to the hype.

Thanks for all the help.
