Dear Mike,

Thank you for submitting this! We really appreciate the contributions.

At a glance, the patch for copy and paste of UTF8 text certainly looks
interesting. Also, patches to enable Xinerama and the update of auto  
tools files could be interesting too.

We will certainly need to review and test carefuly before we can
decide to accept the patches officially.

All the patches related directly to improving NX-x11 and nxagent
and how they improve NX technology that NoMachine releases will be  
looked at. For example, our developers will certainly look at:

017_nx-x11_update-autotools-helper-files.patch
018_nx-x11_update-libtool-ltmain-script.patch
019_nx-x11_expat-build-against-system-libxmltok.patch

106_nxagent_utf8-copy-clipboard.patch
107_nxagent_clipboard-compound-text+small-bed-sheets.patch
108_nxagent_wine-close-delay.patch
109_nxagent_locale-utf8-compound-text.patch
110_nxagent_createpixmap-bounds-check.patch

202_nx-x11_enable-xinerama.patch

If we have any further questions, we will contact you.

Thanks once again!

Kind regards,

The NoMachine Team
