Hi folks,

we are trying to track down a strange problem in nx. Very occasionally users get kicked off because another user tries to take the session over and one doesn't reply with "no way" in the few second time window, then one gets something like "Sorry the desktop user refused to authorize your connection." for a while.

It does look like nx gets the session of a given user wrong and tries to connect to someone else's session.

If you see something like this - please let me know. I would need to know what nx machine you are running on and the time this happened. We have more detailed logging enabled and now we are waiting for this to happen again to send those to nx.

Thanks
Chris

P.S. It also tells you who is trying to connect to your desktop, if you remember - please add that information. Don't blame that person, it is an nx problem and not that user's fault.
