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)? b.
