nelson@nelson-desktop:~$ nxserver --help
NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.3.0)

------------------------0-------------------
Using Gnome 2.28.1
Using 32 bit version
PPA repo: http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu


Upon local login, machine works fine, all window borders and decorations are
present (Metacity).  Tested with and without compiz on both server and
clients, with 3 different clients (2 running Karmic Gnome and 1 running
Jaunty Gnome) and nomachines's nxclient 3.4.0-5.  Tried different
combinations of the configurations in nxclient connection dialog to no
avail.

If it's of any help, I removed-purged everything associated with freenx and
installed Nomachine's version of nxclient, nxnode and nxserver to compare
results, and get the same problem, so I can presume the fault is not
directly related to freenx.  Maybe the problem resides in ssh's
x11Forwarding but I cant see anything wrong with that section of
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd no
PrintLastLog yes
TCPKeepAlive yes

...VNC (vino+vinagre) works ok... but slow, as always.  SSH console logins,
sftp and mounts with sshfs all are 100% operative.  Local network is 10/100
Ethernet, wired.

Can upload screenshot upon request.  I'll update the bug report in Launchpad
with this new info as soon as possible.

Thanks again... Nelson
