He is not the maintander (is this the right word..?) for the nx-rpm, but he 
has the knowledge and contacts about those things.

NXAGENT - Version 3.4.0
strings: '/usr/lib64/NX/nxagent': No such file

I'm not sure if really _all_ keys/signs are correct, but my "typical using"-
keys are correct now on ubuntu, including arrow-keys and "@"

Before that the arrow-keys and the "@" were broken from ubuntu. Now, after 
installing NXv3.4 and adding the patch on the server, it works (from ubuntu).

I will try, but I'm not able at the moment because the server is without 
screen, keypad a.s.o.

The arrow-keys works on my "real thinclients" with Thinstation to NX 
connection. I think only the AltGR-key do not work.

(The arrow-keys were broken on _ubuntu_ before NXv3.4 + patch)

I'm using thinstation 2.2.2d. It builds only what I out-commentated in a file 
named "build.conf". In one line there is

param nxurl          http://thinstation.org/download/2.3/nxclient-3.x-
current.i386.tar.gz

so I think thinstation loads the newest nx-version at build.-time.
But I'm not sure, I found in their lists at sourceforge a calendar entry from 
2007 at the nx-download-file, so I will aks on their maillinglist.
