Re: how to close the nxclient session properly




Right click on your NX session in your taskbar, and select
close.
Really? In full screen mode, I cannot even see the taskbar.

I can't either, until I click in the upper right hand pixel. That makes the fullscreen minimize to a taskbar entry.
I am having hard luck finding the 'magic pixel'. No luck with Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-M either. The thing is inside the nxclient I am running kde session and when I press Alt-F2 KDE's usual "Run command" window pops up. I guess KDE is the culprit here. It is taking complete control over the keyboard and not passing Alt-F2, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-M etc., keys onto nxserver.

The NX session will restore itself, and ask you if you want to
suspend, terminate or cancel.

Pretty intuitive, huh? ;-)
I do not know if you are being sarcastic here. But when I run nxclient
in fullscreen mode, There is no window bar or status bar.

I'm very sorry if you thought I was being sarcastic towards you. I was being sarcastic towards needing to click in the upper right hand corner to minimize the fullscreen "window". I happened upon it by accident, and never would have thought to do such a thing on my own.
:-) Thanks for the clarification. Part of it is my mistake too (for not reading between the lines).

Of course, now that you ask, I clicked around after loading the online help, and found this page: http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR03C00172 It states that you should be able to click on the magic pixel at the top right corner, but also that Alt-F2 should minimize the fullscreen application as well. I tried that, and it works for me on 1.4.0-91, but it states that starting from 1.5.0, you should use Ctrl+Alt+M to minimize or maximize a fullscreen window.
None of these keyboard shortcuts work for me as described in the above document. They take the usual KDE meaning. For example if I press Alt-F4, the current window closes instead of the session getting terminated etc.,

Which window manager do you run inside the nxclient? Which window manager do you run on the machine where you run nxclient? I am using KDE in both instances and starting to wonder this whole thing is due to kde.
