Thanks for the reply. So RandR only works at the server side (because window manage runs at server side); resizing at client side does not work, right? But after I run the following commands at the server side:
(1) xpra start :100 (2) sudo DISPLAY=:100 Xnest +extension RANDR :200 -ac -geometry 800x600+24 & (3) Use Xpra Launcher to connect to the server. A 800x600 Xpra window comes out. (4) sudo DISPLAY=:200 metacity & There is an error: "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":200"." (5) sudo DISPLAY=:200 gnome-settings-daemon & (6) sudo DISPLAY=:200 gnome-panel & The GNOME Panel desktop environment appears (7) sudo DISPLAY=:200 xrandr --size 1024x768 , I received an error: "RandR extension missing" and the size of the Xpra window containing the whole desktop is unchanged. I don't know what is the matter. I also tried "sudo DISPLAY=:100 xrandr --size 1024x768" but nothing is changed. It seems that the RANDR extension is not enabled on display :200 (or :100? I don't know), but how should I enable it? I have already include the +extension RANDR option in step (2). Should I install some other packages? The server is running ubuntu 14.04. Looking forward to your further clarification.
