[FreeNX-kNX] Re: Flickering problem

[Marco Passerini]

Hi,

We tried with several client computers, many have the same problem.
I'm pretty sure that the problem now is iDesk, the icons are the only 
part which is flickering. The whole NX session is really slow when they 
flicker, while whenever they are covered by a window the session becomes 
responsive again.
I will try looking for a different iconset manager or some other 
solution in this direction.

Marco
