Antoine, thank you for your fast response!
You should install the mDNS bits, without those you will have to
connect to your server by IP address which is tedious (and often
changes between restarts).
With mdns correctly installed, your client will see your server
appear on the network and connect to it automatically.
I'm not worried about that--I have a dynamic DNS updater on my router,
a static local IP address, and appropriate port forwarding (already
configured for SSH on an alternative port).
Do you see anything in the global application menu?
There should be options there for connecting to servers and
starting apps.
Forgive me, but what is the "global application menu"? I have not come
across that yet. (The dock icon has no application-specific options,
left- or right-clicking.)
*The* menu, since there is only one on OSX, that big thing that always
sits at the top left of your screen!
You may want to file a ticket and add your log files.
What's the best way to do that. Where are the log files, and how can I
access them?
on OSX and Linux:
.winswitch/

Thanks again for however you can help.

Please forgive the elementary nature of this question, but
most of my
previous experience has been in Windows, and only about a year
ago have I
started really getting into Linux (Ubuntu), and only just
within the last
few weeks have I consistently started using a Mac as my
primary computer.
I've installed Windows-Switch on my Ubuntu 13.04 machine
according to the
instructions here:
https://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=raring
I followed up by running "sudo apt-get install xpra
python-wimpiggy" (since
"sudo apt-get upgrade" indicated that those packages could be
upgraded, but
it wouldn't do it automatically) before launching
Windows-Switch from the
application launcher (which I assume I won't have to do in the
future,
since it'll launch automatically on startup, right?),
It should, though desktop environment changes can break things.
(and Ubuntu in particular)
and it went through
the initial run process. I got a few error messages (something
about having
to do SSH tunneling and something about what I think was
related to
automatic discovery of clients), but I'm not worried about
that quite yet.

appear on the network and connect to it automatically.
(Eventually, the program I expect to be using through this is
Pidgin, but I
don't have that up and running on this computer yet.) The
point is that,
unlike what I'll describe below on the Mac, the Ubuntu machine
properly
places a Windows-Switch icon in the Ubuntu equivalent of a
system tray, as
pictured here: https://winswitch.org/documentation/start.html
The problem I'm having is on my primary laptop (which I
ultimately want to
display the Pidgin process). I followed the instructions for
Intel-based
Macs here: http://winswitch.org/downloads/
(My computer is a MacBook Pro Retina, running 10.8.4 on a 2.4
GHz Intel
Core i7--is there any other information that would be
diagnostically
relevant?)
That should be enough.
During the installation, I dragged the icon into the
Applications folder,
then launched it. After clicking "Open" on the obligatory
are-you-sure-because-this-was-downloaded-from-the-interwebs!
message, it
put an icon on my dock and briefly displayed a notification
saying that it
was setting some stuff up for first use (like it did on the Ubuntu
machine). However, it does not create an icon in my "system
tray", as I
expected (and as is pictured here:
https://winswitch.org/documentation/start.html ).
Those screenshots are out of date for OSX, newer versions use the
global menu to interact with the application instead of a tray icon.
Instead, the dock icon
remains with a little light underneath it indicating that it's
currently
running. Clicking on the dock icon for Window-Switch does
nothing, nor does
it have any windows associated with it.
Do you see anything in the global application menu?
There should be options there for connecting to servers and
starting apps.
Quitting and restarting the process
makes no difference; neither does uninstalling and
reinstalling it (which,
on a Mac, I understand is accomplished merely by sending the
item to Trash
from the Applications folder, then re-copying it from the
downloaded image).
Correct.
Could anyone shed some light and help me figure this out, please?
I haven't tested on OSX for a while.

Thank you so very much in advance!
