Hi, using centos 4.4, and freenx-0.5.0-10.c4 and nx-1.5.0-1.centos4 on a 8 CPU Amd Opteron system. If I access this system by nxclient-1.5.0 from some workstation (FC6) with Gnome desktop, then after a successful login the X11 windows have no windowmanager frame, so a handling of the X11 windows is very difficult. This effect does not appear when acessing the centos system by xdm. Is this a known issue? All comments are appreciated.

On the "General" tab, in the "Desktop" box, make sure that "Unix" and "GNOME" (or "KDE") are selected. I have had problems with any other settings, but these seem to work just fine for me. I'm using NX to access around a dozen servers from both my home and office workstations with excellent results.

All comments are appreciated.I had exactly the same problem for a while - using a non standard resolution - but sticking with 1024x768 seems to resolve the problem for me ( client = centos5/x86_64 and server = centos4/x86_64 ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq

Anyway, you say you're running FC6 on the client you're connecting from. FC6 loads the "composite" extension for the X server by default. The NX client doesn't like it: the result is exactly what you're seeing. Disable the composite extension in xorg.conf, and restart the X server. After you do, try logging into your remote NX session again. Your window manager should be back.
