This was mentioned in #198 but it seems like it was overlooked.

Why is all that extra stuff being sent to NX for the display, instead of it just being ":72"?

I'm seeing the following error trying to connect from a 0.12.17 client on lucid to a 0.12.17 server on gentoo:

The connection shows up as successful, but no applications or sessions are available. This problem also happens with 0.12.16, but goes away if I downgrade the client to 0.12.15.

in a recent package for ubuntu 12.10
