That's the launcher script - I'll take a look at why bits are missing,
isn't there a plain "Xpra" in there too?
(not that it matters much really, you should be using the Xpra.dmg
instead, as this gets updated much more often than winswitch)

Does it work from a non-mac machine?
You didn't post the command line you used, maybe you need to specify the
session's username?
(ie: ssh:username at host:display)

Not much there I am afraid, this usually means that the ssh connection
failed (assuming you used SSH).
