Well
the nxplayer segfault issue is with FreeNX server on 12.2, probably
the same font rendering issue that the nxclient on widows 
can't deal with ('cos it follows libreoffice)
i.e not 12.1

a minor issue

I guess the libraries changed and it needs a re-compile
cos the old ones aren't forwards compatible . . 


OpenNX uses the same source code for the NX stuff
plus a windows platform
but
I guess Fritz has compiled a bit more recently with
newer libraries.

well . . . you could be waiting some time.

V3 is not nomachines highest priority.

Remember
that Open suse 12.2 font bug has been around since November
so
we can say that
OpenSuse is a bit too far beyond nomachines clients for stable use
( tho I'm OK on 12.2 with nxclient on linux and OpenNX on windows)

OK.  So far it's linked to starting gnome kde etc
with nxplayer.

so

You need to know which clients work and which don't,
so you need to try
the OpenNX clients and the ordinary nxclient
on
whatever client OS platforms you have available
against
your 12.1 server


If any of them work at all (inc OpenNX),
that probably means
         the FreeNX server is fine
and
you just have to choose one of:- 

wait for a v3 on Opensuse 12 compatible nxplayer (don't hold your breath)
move to OpenNX
change your FreeNX server platform to something earlier than Opensuse 12

As I said, I've had to move away from nomachine's client for windows users 
. . . .
