It seemed to me. I tried 0.7.0 for a such limited amount of time because it was useless to me, I couldn't do anything with keyboard so I tried to copy and paste via right click and I noticed it was very slow. Then I rollbacked to xpra version 0.6.2 but I kept  winswitch (v 0.12.17) client on osx lion and it's fine

Tell me more, how can I spot it?

Anyway following is the log I have now using 0.6.2:

[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!

Finally, just for your info, when I rollbacked to 0.6.2, apt forced me to revert python-wimpiggy to 0.6.2, but probably something was missing because /usr/bin/winswitch_server --daemon didn't started, so I followed your faq (http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=lucid) and installed winswitch.
