NX Client suspend+terminate window not appearing

2008, October 12 - 17:29 — müzso
If a screensaver locks your X session (let it be Gnome, KDE or whatever), then pressing the Alt+Ctrl+T combo (or Cmd+W on a Mac) won't bring up the usual window where you can suspend or terminate the current session. This window does not belong to the NX Client (that you run on your machine), it's launched on the server in your NX session. Thus it's also bound to the restrictions that a screensaver puts on your session. If the screensaver asks for a password, then you've to do it before you can suspend (aka. disconnect) your session.

The suspend+terminate window is opened by the following command (which is launched by the given keyboard shortcut):
/usr/NX/bin/nxclient --dialog yesnosuspend --caption NX - yourserver-1001 --message Press the disconnect button to disconnect the running session.?You will be able to resume the session at later time. Press the terminate button to exit the session and close all the running programs. --parent 1911 -display  :1001

Of course the numeric values will be different in your case (they are DISPLAY identifiers and PIDs).
