I've currently got the nx-1.5.0-1.centos4.i386, freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch, and nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386 packages installed on a couple of CentOS 4 update 3 systems and I'm getting the same results on all of them. I got the new version of freenx via "yum update" and it appears to have "broken" fullscreen mode. The connection config file I have been using does have the "fullscreen" option set (<option key="Resolution" value="fullscreen" />) but wheras it used to really go into fullscreen mode it does not since the update. I now see the top and bottom panels from the "parent" display and a window title on the NX client window, which is not what I was getting in "fullscreen" mode with 0.4.4.
I reran the connection wizard and created a new connection, insuring that the options were what I wanted, but it still has the same behaviour. I downgraded freenx to the 0.4.4-1.centos4 package and the expected behaviour returned.
Am I screwing up somewhere, or did I miss something in the documentation? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have the same exact problem - pressing ctrl+alt+f switches back to fullscreen, but the default remains to run in a window...
Furthermore I have a really pain-in-the-... problem with ctrl+alt+s/e, the Polish language uses altgr+[shift]+a,c,e,l,n,o,s,x,z for extra letters and it appears that pressing altgr + e or s is treated as ctrl+alt+e/s under windows nxclient, which results in lazy/slow mode off/on instead of the desired accented e/s. The workaround is to press altgr, press control, release control, press s or e. But this is kind of sick. The problem only happens under windows, and I've heard it has something to do with how windows handles altgr (right alt, using aPolish Programmer's keyboard layout)... anybody have any ideas?
Cheers, MaZe.

See MaZe's post concerning a key stroke mode to get full screen.
Thanks for the input, I'll see if I can figure out why this doesn't work.
The new freenx does have several advantages including much better reconnection support and much better printer support. I have been using it for more than a month on a daily basis with very few issues.
Thanks for the feedback,
Johnny Hughes

Yeah, that turned the trick just fine, ctl-alt-F is your friend! It's a minor annoyance to have to do this, but NX/FreeNX works so much better than the alternatives I've tried.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. I'm seeing the same thing. It confused my remote users a bit, and me too until I realized that what they were describing was that they were not getting a full screen session.
FWIW, it seems that this only affects our Linux clients (We're on nxclient-1.5.0-141). The Windows clients are coming up full screen.
