Yep, 2048 is the default limit in 0.0.6.

Sorry about that! Several people have run into this. The problem is
that the "secret" headless X server that xpra runs in the background
has a particular desktop size fixed at startup, so we just guess what
will be "big enough", and for you lucky people with giant dual
monitors, we guessed wrong :-).
The quick hack is to edit your xpra/scripts/server.py, where it says:
xvfb = subprocess.Popen(["Xvfb-for-Xpra-%s" % display_name,
display_name,
"-auth", xauthority,
"+extension", "Composite",
"-screen", "0", "2048x2048x24+32",
"-once"],
executable="Xvfb")
and on line 241, where it says "2048x2048", pick some other
width-by-height size that will cover your whole desktop.

You're welcome! Let us know if you run into any other problems...
