I am not in front of a machine with the nxclient on it, I will be in the 
morning and can see what some of the logs look like there; however, the 
ling concerning automatic reconnect to true makes me think the device is 
attempting to start up a session that doesn't exist. I can't prove that, 
but I will have more information tomorrow.

Concerning your screen shot, I've only ever been stuck at that screen 
once and simply hitting enter at the keyboard made it vanish. The splash 
screen should time out anyhow once the start up stuff times out if 
gnome/kde/xfce's initialization routine takes too long.

What desktop (window manager?) are you using? Is it Gnome, KDE or 
something else? I've not seen selinux create an issue, but for posterity 
is it running? Does it log anything on the system you're attempting to 
connect with? Oh, what about permissions for the user? Does the user 
have the ability to write to his/her home directory properly? You could 
be getting stuck on the splash screen because the user can't write any 
data for the initialization.

Sincerely,

Alex White
