Just curious:
One of the major complaints about NX (iirc) and the reason why it wasn't
 packaged for Debian yet, is that it basically was a fork of the
complete Xorg/Xfree86 sources (which understandably didn't make our
security team happy).
Is nxcl a reimplementation that solves this problem?
Does it allow to implement the NX server as an extension for Xorg?

Cheers,
Michael
