That's the server trying to figure out if it has access to this display.
Do you own the DISPLAY at ":0" ?
Is it running from the same user-id and environment as the winswitch_server?

In any case, this should not be a problem, this is only used for 
detecting existing X11 display sessions to then give you the option of 
shadowing them (either via NX or VNC)

Are you saying that the fonts are there the first time (when you 
initially start the application) but not the second time? (when you 
re-connect)

If so, that's very odd and I've never seen that.

It's very strange that you are able to connect to the session with NX 
but somehow the winswitch_server seems to fail to connect to the NX 
virtual X11 server to set the keymap, etc.
Sounds like something is preventing access and generally that means 
xauth issues. Do you get any SELinux denials?
What distro is this? Can you try to specify an alternate XAUTHORITY file?

Just out of curiosity, is there anything specific that prevents you from 
using Xpra instead of NX?
