[winswitch] A simple script to get started with xpra on Ubuntu

[Richard F]

Hello,

I have tried to get started with xpra, but it looks harder than just doing

> xpra start ssh:rich:100 --start-child=firefox

because I keep getting the message

arning: running as root
> /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning:
> could not open display
>   warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

I would like to pay you to write me a script that will start Firefox in an
xpra server on Ubuntu 14.04 server. Please contact me if you can help me
out with this.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit on my VPS.

Best,
Rich
