I'll respond to my other thread momentarily, but I now have xpra running, and
thank Antoine for his help.
In the process of this, I got this error:
$ xpra start :100 --start-child=xterm

I was able to resolve this by creating a /run/xpra directory and I temporarily
gave it permissions 777.
As I said before, I'm running Gentoo xpra-1.0.3, installed with the latest
x11-wm/xpra ebuild currently in the Portage tree.
The ebuild creates an xpra group (in /etc/group) when the package is installed
on the system.
I'm thinking the install should also create a /run/xpra directory on
installation, with permissions that members of the xpra group can write to it
(but not other users). Does this sound reasonable? If so, I'll file a bug to
this effect with Gentoo.
I do appreciate all your hard work,
Stroller.
