Correct. Actually if you want to have nicer/prettier dialog-boxes,
installing NoMachine NXClient on the server would actually achieve
this. FreeNX will automatically use the NoMachine NXClient for the
dialogs inside the sessions.

I might agree with you on this, but it's easy to see why it was
named 'nxclient' when you read what its function is - to replace the
NoMachine NXClient. This nxclient-script is also not used when you
install the NoMachine NXClient on the server (as explained above).
In a retrospective view, I agree that the nxclient-script could be
named differently to avoid confusion.
Maybe something to think about for the next version, Fabian? Or is
it possible to include the NXClient from 2X (and maybe get someone to
work on NX3.0 compatibility for it? Is Rafael, or others from 2X,
reading this list, anyways?) ?
Clearly issues like this will have to be addressed in the
documentation for the upcoming release.
