I've submitted a bug and a message on the mailing list a week ago...
But nobody seems to pay attention to this BIG BUG, 

For non-us keyboard user, freeNX is not usable at all...

> Hi
>
> I've got nx working pretty well (thank you everyone for this software)
> but the keyboard mapping is US, not GB as I selected in the client
> software.
>
> Windows Client: nomachine 1.4.0-92
> Freenx server: freenx-0.2.8-0.fdr.0, nx-1.4.0-0.fdr.4 on Fedora Core 2,
> from Rick Stout's page.
>
> I also made the sym links on the server that Rick suggested on his page:
> cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules
> ln -sf xorg-it.lst xfree86-it.lst
> ln -sf xorg.lst xfree86.lst
> ln -sf xorg.xml xfree86.xml
> # this last one may already exist
> ln -sf xorg xfree86
>
> I can fix the keyboard mapping problems by hand if I do the following in
> a terminal window in the NX session:
>
> linux> setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout gb
> Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
> Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
> free(): invalid pointer 0xbfe4f2e8!
>
> Note, this produces an error, but does actually fix the mapping so my
> pipe and hash keys etc are appropriate for the GB layout.
>
> If I re-issue this command the error is not reported again.
>
> Can anyone with a non-us keyboard confirm this behaviour?
>
> Could someone suggest how I can trace the problem - I'm not even sure if
> this is a client-side or server-side issue, or something peculiar to my
> own setup here.
>
> Many thanks
