Hi Mathijs, Sorry for this absurdly late reply -- I only just saw the message :-( http://lists.partiwm.org/pipermail/parti-discuss/2009-October/000298.html
The current version of xpra supports an "--ssh" option, which tells xpra how to run your ssh executable. You can use this like xpra attach --ssh="ssh -p 31337" ssh:myhost:10 to specify a non-default port (or a non-default ssh executable, or encryption options, etc., in case you ever want to change those too). I haven't tried running the xpra client remotely over ssh X forwarding myself... it's relative speed will depend a lot on what apps you're running. It'll almost certainly be slower than 'xpra attach ssh:...', but not necessarily by a lot. For modern, complex X apps either will almost certainly be faster than forwarding the X app directly. These are all just a guesses, though. -- Nathaniel On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 7:42 AM, Matthijs Sypkens Smit <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I just found out about xpra. I find it nice and useful!
