Apparently xfce does not work with the latest changes, but lxde does.
By simply switching to lxde, I was able to get a working keyboard.

It also seems that when the connection has high latency: (eg: 3G), that getting the keyboard to work is impossible.
I have been able to reproduce this time and time over again.

I'm using official NX Server (not FreeNX) on a Gentoo Linux server. It normally runs as its own user and is not in the path. In order to make it work with this script I simply had to edit the "nxagent" line in the script to call it explicitly like:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/NX/lib /usr/NX/bin/nxagent

After that, it works. Thanks a lot for this.

But that breaks the script everywhere else. It is better to add both paths in you user's .profile (server side).

Is there any update on the lack of keyboard controls over 3G or slower connections yet?
If this was working properly, I would not need to carry my netbook with me anymore.

May be the cause is the ssh tunnel.
I have uploaded a new release (0.1.6-1) to the repositories which adds an option ("-u") to use a direct connection to the host.
Please, try it, but beware that, although the session is started using ssh so the account credentials are not sent in the clear, the data connection is unencrypted. Furthermore, you have to allow incoming connections to tcp port 5011 in your host.

UPDATE: I manually downloaded the file, installed, and tested with -d -u, it's still not working.

Try editing the /usr/bin/snx file, edit lines 127 and 133 so they read
export DISPLAY=nx/nx,strict=1,link=modem.....
and see what happens

I made these changes, and it still only works over WIFI. 3G never works, and only 1/20 of the time is another wireless network fast enough for it to work. Also, it appears that the xfce4 startup time is too long for the script to work, so only lxde works when anything works.

When it does not work, I am stating that NX does not enter fullscreen mode, and I cannot enter any text into NX (it just goes to the terminal instead).

I was able to work around this issue by running these commands after connecting:

WID=$(wmctrl -l|awk '(NF == 4)&&($4 == "NX") {print $1}')
wmctrl -i -r $WID -b toggle,fullscreen&&/usr/share/snx/set-focus $WID
