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 END***
After this patch, nxnode will respect the fullscreen flag if it is set in the
configuration.
Hope that helps!

It's a minor inconvenience to me. But it's a whole other ball game when you have 45 users, with some employee turnover, who "just have to hit CTRL-ALT-F". Not to mention embarrassing to have to explain that it's a bug in "Linux". This is *much* appreciated. I'll be collecting up the thank you's from my users and sending them over in one batch to avoid list clutter. ;-) -Steve

The patch is rolled in and freenx-0.5.0-10.c4.noarch.rpm is pushed to the centos mirrors. -- Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
