Hi Matt,

I just installed from the winswitch .deb and xpra correctly responds to --version with
~$ xpra --version
xpra v0.0.7.20

So I would guess that there is either an issue with the tarball you downloaded, or what you are running did not come from the tarball.

I can't install from the tarball on this machine, but I may be able to test it from another machine later if no-one else has answered.

installing from the winswitch packages is safe enough from what I can see.
So it may be worth trying that first

Regards
David Godfrey

It appears I misunderstood your previous message, then.  I thought you
mentioned winswitch.org as an alternative, not your recommendation.  I
looked at it more closely, and for awhile I wondered what winswitch had to
do with xpra.  I was hesitant to download anything from the download page
you listed.

However, after checking the FAQ page I understood the connection between
winswitch and xpra.  Then I found http://winswitch.org/src/ , where I was
able to download xpra-0.0.7.20 directly. I built and tried that out on my ubuntu (version 10.04) workstation (xpra servera and client), but found the "stuck key" (specifically the "alt" key) behavior to be unchanged. Again, I
will hold off on installing this to my Mac (my second xpra client) given
that it does not seem to be an improvement.

As an aside, I noticed that running "./xpra --version" with this download
still produces "xpra v0.0.6". I am absolutely certain I grabbed the right tarball, because the tarball has the version number in the name. I am also
certain I am running the 'xpra' executable that was compiled within that
source. So either the version number was not bumped in the source, or the tarball at http://winswitch.org/src/ was not loaded properly. If the latter
is true, then perhaps I still haven't tested the correct fix, yet.
