VirtualGL works and is supported on X proxies other than TurboVNC, but The VirtualGL Project does not endorse any X proxies other than TurboVNC. Please understand that I am able to run this project only because of funded development and support opportunities that include both VirtualGL and TurboVNC. Income from VirtualGL alone would be insufficient to keep the project afloat.
I do not deny that Xpra does some things that TurboVNC doesn't (seamless windows, for instance), but TurboVNC also has a lot of features that Xpra lacks. TurboVNC is also a proven enterprise product that is being used in a variety of mission-critical installations by various corporations and large academic/scientific institutions. It's also, frankly, easier to use than Xpra. If the user needed a feature that was not available in TurboVNC, then I myself would have steered them to another X proxy, but that was not the case. In short, let's please try to keep this list as agnostic as possible in terms of X proxy recommendations and make those recommendations based purely on technical need.
