Perhaps you can use the KDE menu option Switch User - Start New Session to start a twm (or even failsafe) session, launch nxclient from there, and then maybe your key bindings will work.

I will try it later. Out of curiosity, do the Ctrl-Alt-function key get you from display 1 to 0? Yes. Ctrl-Alt function keys work fine.

You may want to start a new thread with this type of question. Currently running nxclient from an already existing kde session works perfectly. So I guess I will postpone this issue to a later point of time when I have more free time at hand. Your suggestions have been very helpful so far.

I tried that, and it works for me on 1.4.0-91, but it states that starting from 1.5.0, you should use Ctrl+Alt+M to minimize or maximize a fullscreen window.

Re: how to close the nxclient session properly
Right click on your NX session in your taskbar, and select close. Really? In full screen mode, I cannot even see the taskbar. I can't either, until I click in the upper right hand pixel. That makes the fullscreen minimize to a taskbar entry. I am having hard luck finding the 'magic pixel'. No luck with Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-M either. The thing is inside the nxclient I am running kde session and when I press Alt-F2 KDE's usual Run command window pops up. I guess KDE is the culprit here. It is taking complete control over the keyboard and not passing Alt-F2, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-M etc., keys onto nxserver. The NX session will restore itself, and ask you if you want to suspend, terminate or cancel. Pretty intuitive, huh? ;-) I do not know if you are being sarcastic here. But when I run nxclient in fullscreen mode, There is no window bar or status bar. bye raju I'm very sorry if you thought I was being sarcastic towards you.

None of these keyboard shortcuts work for me as described in the above document. They take the usual KDE meaning. For example if I press Alt-F4, the current window closes instead of the session getting terminated etc., Which window manager do you run inside the nxclient? Which window manager do you run on the machine where you run nxclient? I am using KDE in both instances and starting to wonder this whole thing is due to kde. bye raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I do this because I'm not sure if it's safe to run 2 KDE sessions as the same user on the same machine at the same time. Even though one session is an nxsession, I'm not sure if that would interfere with my regular X session on the server, where I keep myself always logged in. Anyway, I tried using a KDE desktop in both the client machine and the nxsession, and my key bindings worked as expected. Perhaps you have khotkeys enabled, whereas I don't? I enabled it, both on the client machine and the client session, but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. I even tried to set up a khotkey shortcut using Alt+F2, but I couldn't key it in, as the session would minimize as soon as I hit it. What keyboard layout are you using? I'm using US English, standard PC-104 keyboard. Maybe that could be the problem? Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
