You don't bother with patching too much then ;)

Start by patching it.


You don't bother us with details of your distro/version
but
let me guess.

You're running ubuntu and you haven't patched it up to now
so
you've hit a nx-session-launcher bug
which
you can't patch because the ubuntu FreeNX ppa has vanished.

So  quick Q?? for you. . .

 . . . do you actually need ConsoleKit ???



Answer=No
         I don't want ordinary users mounting CDs/DVDs/USBs
         or shutting down the machine

- edit /etc/nxserver/node.conf
and replace

COMMAND_START_GNOME="/usr/bin/nx-session-launcher-suid gnome-session"

with

COMMAND_START_GNOME="gnome-session"
and 
See if it works.



Answer=Yes
         I do want ordinary uses etc. etc.

- you will have to update

        /usr/bin/nx-session-launcher
and
        /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit-NX.conf

and
recompile
        /usr/bin/nx-session-launcher-suid
from nx-session-launcher-suid.c

or get hold of the ubuntu files
