Freenx weirdness.

I've been piddling around with an older computer I hope to drop into my car, and I decided to install the freenx server. Everything went o.k., I copied the keys, I can connect etc... It's just that when I connect with the client on another computer, nothing happens. In the admin gui, it shows that I'm connected and that I've started an X session, some info is transfered, but the little nxclient window dissappears and that's it. No remote desktop in another window. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?  :?

Re: Freenx weirdness.

Are you behind a router? Are the ports open? Ect.

Yes, but the ports are open. It authenticates, connects, and starts the X session, but right when I should be seeing a window with the other desktop, the nxclient window dissappears and nothing replaces it. Through the admin window, the session is active, but there's no output.

Re: Freenx weirdness.

M'kay, it seems as if this isn't anything new, and after trying this fix, I was able to login to gnome when specifying it in the nxclient prefs. Unfortunately, I still can't get the nxclient to properly run the default X client script. If I ssh as the user after I start the nx session and run DISPLAY=localhost:1000 exec fvwm I'll get fvwm through nx. However, if I try it for openbox, it runs, but doesn't display any of the menus correctly, no letters at all, just funny looking bars where I should see a menu. Does anyone have any ideas regarding this? I figure it's some system setting wrt X messing things up, but this is way over my head.
