NX 1.5.0 or 2.0.0 backend is needed for this version of FreeNX. ------- do not appear to be harmful because the server works ok. I know this _should_ not be necessary but it _is_ necessary for me because otherwise my client says "NX server disabled or not installed", or something to that effect. I guess this may be a "local problem" of some kind (i.e. me not understanding the "client key" business), and not related to the new nx version or package. c) the problems with the color maps are indeed fixed d) a new problem (at least compared to nx-1.5.0-1.centos4.i386) is that the session cannot be terminated or suspended by signalling the client (on a CentOS-4 machine): clicking the "X" of the client's window or even ALT-F4 does not result in a "xmessage" window where "suspend", "terminate" or "cancel" can be chosen. Rather, I had to kill the nxssh process. Thanks, Kay
