The web administration interface should really only be used on the
master machine, so it will get confused if you access it on an agent.

Not all desktop environments are included in our default configuration.
You may need to define your own profile, or install one of the
environments that are covered by the default settings.

Information about configuring profiles can be found here:

It is also available from the web administration.

Nothing obviously wrong there. What is the error you get from the
client when you try to connect?
