Hi
I suceeded to run freenx on centos3 with the nomachine client, but I still have some issues. First I can only get a new whole desktop (kde) session. I cannot resume it, and it always leave tons of process that I have to kill from root.
I don't need the whole kde desktop, and only want to have single windows. This is called the rootless mode I think and cannot make it work, it simply hangs.
Finally I succeded in running the nxagent and nxproxy manually in rootless mode, but the problem is that I have to do this on my linux router (I use x.org from cygwin). but there is no nxproxy on windows or cygwin I think.
Is there a way to run single windows with the freenx client and resume sessions?
Thanks.

I've only been able to resume sessions from exactly the same location and geometry that matches the original. I'm not sure about the real issue here. If you choose terminate when you close a session it shouldn't leave any lingering processes. Also, make sure you have the latest server and client.

This is easy with simple ssh tunnels, but I don't know how to make nx do it.

The protocol compression of nx is not comparable to ssh tunnel gzip compression. It prevents round trips and hide latency effects. Launching complex graphic applications trough internet becomes possible with nx, unusable with ssh or vpn.
I think, if I remember well, that there is a setting in the client.
As I said, running nxproxy and nxagent in rootless mode works very well, but not under windows. Anybody knows an windows nxproxy implementation?

Not quite what you want, but if you have a Linux box on the local side, maybe you could ssh nxagent there to get the window over to the windows box.

This is what I do actually, but I'm looking for a solution without linux on the Xserver side. nxagent is on the X client (remote) side nxproxy is on the Xserver (local) side.
I'm trying to compile nxproxy, but I can't find in which package the file NX.h is (it is missing)
