We're always starting whole display sessions with a geometry of 800x600 (which
corresponds to the default width and height). You're right that this is probably
a bit weird, but the window is resized to the correct size later on and nxagent
adjusts to that.

This is pretty much also true for rootless sessions (in which case the window is
also immediately resized to spawn the whole display).

Real fullscreen sessions get a geometry value of "fullscreen" instead.

It doesn't really matter to much if resizing is working properly. We could avoid
a useless resize operation by pre-determining the display size and passing that
as the initial geometry, but there isn't all that much to gain.

That's good to hear! I hope to have squashed most memory hog situations, that
mostly boiled down to bugs in the new logging code during the last few days and
weeks.

The issue I talked about in my last mail boiled down to using the new -d
parameter with nxproxy and enabling info or debug output. Staying on the default
warning log level didn't lead to it eating memory quickly, but even so that
issue should also be gone now.


This update cost me a few hairs lately.
