  Thank you Michael, very much, but in a sense my question was
whether there is (there would be) a way to have this option -
"--disable-acceleration-check" always (by default), so my users
wouldn't need to change their existing setups of many NX client
sessions that they already have.

  Also NX has an option to start different sessions ("Desktops" as they
call it) including Gnome or, alternatively, run any specified command.
If I specify to run "gnome-session" command - it doesn't work correctly
at all. I don't know exactly how they lunch gnome-session when I select
"GNOME Desktop" in their configuration menu (there are no sources
as you know) and I didn't spend much time yet investigating this.

Michael.
