OK, so it's not the actual right click that is slow but the clipboard
lookup. What was the app you were testing with? Copying from one app to
another? (there is no clipboard support on macos due to lack of a usable
clipboard api on osx)

Good.

You should be able to spot it with a simple process list, or using:
DISPLAY:100 xlsclients

I bet this is just another xpra instance doing an upgrade since you are
using winswitch: it will capture all the xpra sessions it finds to make
them available to you via winswitch.
You can turn off this behaviour in .winswitch/server/protocols/xpra.conf
by setting:
capture_external_sessions=False

Or stop winswitch when testing pure xpra sessions.

> 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. 
Where did you install winswitch from previously?
I haven't tested latest winswitch with xpra 0.6.2, it should work, but
there are some debian packaging tricks in there so maybe that's the problem.
