Yep, that's definitely the cause of the problems you mention.

I'm surprised that you're seeing this with the version from
winswitch.org -- Antoine, I thought you had the patch to increase the
default virtual screen size?

One option would be to fetch the development version from the repository:
  http://code.google.com/p/partiwm/source/checkout
If you want to use it then you'll have to upgrade both machines (the
protocol has changed a bit), but it has a fix for this bug (among
others). Alternatively, for a quick hack, around line 257 of
xpra/scripts/server.py is a line that says something like:
  "-screen", "0", "1400x1920x24+32",
which is where the server's virtual screen size is getting set -- you
can just hack your local copy to increase that.

Cheers,
-- Nathaniel
