Yes, I believe you're correct about that.  I haven't gotten in to this 
aspect of the software personally, but this article 
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/02/09/freenx.html seems 
to confirm.  The article mentions something about the sessions not being 
'stateless connection in the purest terms'.  It doesn't go in to detail 
about what that means exactly.
