I've seen that, too.  I'm not sure what triggers it.  The NX client
kills the connection, but freenx (that's what I've deployed...not using
the commercial NX server yet) fails to clean up the session.  It doesn't
happen all the time, either.

What I've done is set up a cron job that basically runs 'nxserver
--cleanup'.  That kills all running/failed/whatever NX sessions that
have been left behind.  It's not ideal since the sessions shouldn't be
left behind in the first place, but at least it works.

BTW, I've experienced this on CentOS 4 machines.  It's definitely not a
Fedora specific issue.  It's most likely a freenx problem.

Try out the freenx 0.5 snapshot.  It might work better for you (I
haven't tried it yet).
