[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX & NoMachine Player - Connection Issues

[Nick Couchman]

Jon,
You can try the attached patch, although the nxserver you sent looked
to be already patched correctly, with the original lines commented out
and the new ones added in.  As to whether it'll work or not, you'll have
to give that a try yourself - it works for us for resuming sessions,
but, if you've followed the mailing list for the past several weeks,
you'll see that we have an entirely different set of issues with
NoMachine 4 and FreeNX that I have yet to be able to solve.  At this
point we're just using NX Client 3.5 on the Windows hosts and telling
Mac/Linux users that are running 4.0 to keep trying until they get a
session.  Kind of sad, but until I can figure out what library call in
Xcomp is failing, I don't really have much choice.

I'd really like to see a NoMachine-compatible product, like FreeNX,
live on...X2Go is nice, but sometimes cross-compatibility is necessary.

-Nick
