CentOS - Jun 2006 - (?) Loss of fullscreen mode with freenx-0.5.0-8.c4

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.

Any thoughts?  Thanks!
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.
