1. I was successful creating an xpra-0.14.24 rpm on a different computer with

2. Before I updated xpra, connecting winswitch-0.12.21 to winswitch-0.12.20
reported that xpra was
not available.
You were probably running an outdated version.
2a. This was not a bad thing, because I discovered that if there is no xpra,
then it's possible to
choose vnc for an application connection. Since my openSuSE 13.2 computers will
not serve vnc
desktop sessions, this is useful (and it would be nice if the vnc and ssh
options were available
even when xpra is available).
They are always available.
There are configuration options to allow you to choose the default
session type and drop down menus in the launch dialogs.
2b. I noticed that the "application session" would invoke the application in
an openbox window (or
icewm, depending on what is available on the server, I guess).
That should not be the case. "desktop sessions" should start a window
manager, "application sessions" should run seamlessly.
2c. With the foregoing information, I found that I could open a full vnc
desktop session from the
application "custom command" option, as follows:
The following work:
ICEWM -- "icewm --replace"
LXDE -- "lxsession"
XFCE -- "xfwm4 --replace & xfce4-session"
KDE4 -- "plasma-desktop & kwin --replace" (but logout doesn't work so you have
to use
winswitch_applet to kill the session)
I could not figure out how to start enlightenment. That is all the window
managers/desktops I have
installed.
As per my other reply, these options should have launch menus as
"desktop sessions" already.
That's what winswitch does.
2d. I know worrying about how to get VNC sessions running is sort of the
opposite of getting xpra
to work well, since its focus is on getting individual remote applications to
integrate with the
local desktop. But, since the normal winswitch desktop mode does not work for
me, this is very
useful information.
