[winswitch] Server only?

So, more errors :)

It seems the glib in python2.6 on CentOS6 does not have glib.threads_init()

I can see that there is a workaraound for xpra:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/11 <http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/114#comment:3>4

could this also work for winswitch?

Here is the output of winswitch server:
