Using the testing ppa of freeNX under Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 - floating windows does not work for some applications.
The window decorations are not handled by the local window manager.

Tested environtments:

server-side:
Ubuntu 12.04
Ubuntu 12.10

client-side
Ubuntu 12.04
Ubuntu 12.10
Mandriva 2011


All with NoMachine's NX Client 3.5

If using Mandriva is client, I DO NOT have the issue with missing window decorations.
I've tried with Unity, KDE and Gnome as desktop environments - all with the same issue under Ubuntu... Window manager is not handled corretly.

Application to test: ControlPanel (From Oracle's Java)

As a workaround, one can locally install "devilspie" to force window decorations ON.

Anyone else seen this, and know of a better fix ?
