Ah, great to hear! In terms of #1, I actually disabled the titlebars and such (in that twmrc file that gets generated). I suppose this could easily be made an option to startnx in lts.conf... :)
The other big change, from a scripting point of view, is that since I am using twm, I can take advantage of nxclient's "noexit" property, so that it respawns when the session is over. Unfortunately, what I noticed in my testing was that when the session respawns, it does not honor the "noconfig" property the second time around, and the user gets the option to configure the connection (which I don't like so much). What do others think? Maybe we can ask the NoMachine guys if there's a fix... Anyhow, glad it works. :) Oh, and in answer to your question: twm gets started in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/bin/startnx (which is, in essence, an xinitrc script, since it is called explicitly by xinit in the screen script) -Gadi On Thu, 2006-06-08 at 18:19 +0200, Ondrej Valousek wrote: > Hi Gadi, > > I am just staring at your NX startup scripts...
