I hope you accept this in the constructive nature that I'm sending it
in.  I'm only sending because I hope it help you understand a possible
use case and see if Xpra can or wants to fulfil it.

OK.  So here's my use case...

I have a desktop machine and a laptop.  All of my work is on my laptop
but my main display is my dual-headed desktop.  Before xpra, I would ssh
into my laptop with both agent and X forwarding and start some windows,
including windows to both screen 0 and screen 1 of my desktop machine.

Audio from my laptop came to my desktop machine via the magic of
pulseaudio because applications on the laptop linked with the pulseaudio
libraries would read a value out of their X "root window" to find out
which pulseaudio server to connect to.

Also, magically (and I'm not sure how TBH) all of my desktop theme
settings applied to the applications running on the laptop when
displayed on my desktop.

With xpra I lose much of this.  I lose the pulseaudio magic as well as
the themeing magic, as well as the ssh agent forwarding.

As much as I love the persistence aspect of Xpra, losing the seamless
integration of the applications from my laptop to the services on my
desktop is just not going to work for me.

Any thots on all of this?  Is Xpra just not going to fit the bill for me
(ever)?
