I just did a quick pass through these:

avoid-apport-whenkilled.patch: Fails to apply. What is it trying to do?

bug-xerror-undef-var.patch: Applied.

catch-socket-error.patch: ...this is the same as avoid-apport-whenkilled.patch?

cleanup-parti-main-unusedimport.patch: Fixed in a better way.

cleanup-parti-scripts-unusedvars.patch: (options, args) =
parser.parse_args(...) is idiomatic; this patch makes the code harder
to read, not easier...

cleanup-wimpiggy-prop-unusedimportsandvars.patch: Applied the part of
this that I like.
cleanup-wimpiggy-unusedimportsandvars.patch: Applied the parts of this
that I like.
cleanup-xpra-scripts-unusedimportsandvars.patch: Ditto.
cleanup-xpra-unusedimportsandvars.patch: Ditto.
cleanup-yatest-whitespace-import.txt: Ditto.

client_launcher.py: This could be integrated as 'xpra gui-attach' or
something, I suppose...?

missing-sys-import.patch: Already fixed in trunk.

set-socket-timeout.patch: Applied.

xvfb-bin.patch: Rewrote in a slightly way, and documented. It is now
called "--xvfb", in line with the existing --ssh and --remote-xpra.

xpra-name-windows.patch: Can you remind me what the point of this is?

jpeg-compression.patch: Deferring until I can think about it more...
the UI seems annoying, in that really xpra should be smart enough to
use jpeg only when it matters, not require you to fiddle with some
magic knobs that most users won't discover or know how to tweak
properly. (I'm not at all sure how to tweak them myself... does using
jpeg even actually help in practice? How was this measured and what
levels of compression worked best?)

mswindows-cant-clipboard-asis.patch
mswindows-conditional-pyrex.patch
mswindows-disable-server-code-in-main.patch
mswindows-exec-main.patch
mswindows-ignore-sendclientmessage.patch
mswindows-keyboard-not-impl.patch
mswindows-move-common-parts.patch
-- Continuing to defer these until there's a chance to get it right.

xpra-allow-bind-to-all-interfaces.patch
password-file.patch
password-secure.patch
password.patch
-- Okay, seriously: Why do you care about TCP? Is it just because
implementing ssh support on windows is hard? Because I keep asking
this, and I keep not getting an answer, just more and more patches to
enhance an option that is fundamentally insecure and misleads users
into doing insecure things. Please?
