This topic came up some time back and I pretty much ignored it, but the "itch" came back to find out why.  Searching through the 
FreeNX/knx list came up with the reason sessions did not come up full-screen even though the session definition was set to fullscreen.

Apparently there is an oversight in /usr/bin/nxnode, the script is never retrieving the fullscreen flag from the parameters passed 
from the client.  This is the case even in freenx-0.5.0-9.c4, the current version for CentOS 4.  Here's a quick patch against the 
freenx-0.5.0-9.c4 version of /usr/bin/nxnode that resolves this issue:

***PATCH START***

         [ "$geometry" = "fullscreen" ] && fullscreen="1"

         [ "$EXPORT_USERIP" = "1" ] && export NXUSERIP="$userip"
***PATCH END***

After this patch, nxnode will respect the fullscreen flag if it is set in the configuration.

Hope that helps!
