FreeNX on fc9.x86_64

[V Pomerol]

This is a reply to my own post.  The issue I encountered is a know bug
that was submitted 4 months ago
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437655), and there is an
easy workaround.

My apologies for the noise, but at least I hope that this message will
help others trying to get FreeNX to work in FC9.  Specifically those
who read (and post) to this list before doing a detailed search on
bugzilla. ;-)

Thanks to all those working to fix FreeNX in FC9.  It is a fantastic
piece of software.
