It's a commercial (free beer) package (http://www.nomachine.com/), not
something that is changable in the distro. While it is probably bad, it
is consistant, and has been in the same path location for the last 2
years that I've been using it.

The question is basically whether the plugin works out of the box or
requires the user to change his/her PATH to include the nx location
prior to it working.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
