Yes - it doesn't seem to work without that. However, I wonder if in actuality the only reason why that's needed is to override a misconfiguration somewhere else. i.e., perhaps somewhere else the font path is coded using /usr/X11R6/..., and so you need to override that misconfiguration here, which maybe wouldn't be necessary if it were addressed elsewhere. According to Juergen's email: "nxserver still uses X11R6 default paths" So perhaps there is a also problem with the nxserver and/or nx-common packages that needs to be fixed, and not just freenx. Just wondering too, by the way, Tobias: Do you have NX installed on your system that you can test with? The only reason I ask is because the last couple of fixes hadn't fixed the problem, and I'd think it'd be easy to see if a patch of yours fixes it just by trying to connect to the NX server from another box. Anyway, thanks very much for all your help and hard work here - and on Arch in general - by the way. It's very much appreciated.
