Try look at http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/FAQ#a7.SystemTraydoesnotwork

I run on CentOS - a derivative of RedHat

The NSC.ini config file is very well commented and the NSClient++ wiki
provides a great source of information.

My config is very simple and works for me as I only use NSCLient type
checking (although I have NRPE enabled also just in case), you may
have other requirements:

This config file has been trimmed down so as not to make the email too
long.  You will have to compare it against one of your NSC.ini files.
Please note I have shared_session=0 and commented out since I do not
use the tray.  This area may be of special interest to you as per the
URL above.
