Please use this mailing list or IRC, which are linked from the home page
under "Help and Discussions".

There are dozens of pages on the wiki, and if you tell us what it is
that you are looking for, we can add more.

That means your session has password mode configured.

My guess is that you may have also run winswitch, which automatically
manages your xpra sessions and will password protect them for you.
Your main options are:
* use winswitch and not xpra directly
* stop winswitch and use xpra directly only
* tell winswitch not to capture xpra sessions (see
.winswitch/server/protocols/xpra.conf)

ps -ef | grep xpra
Will show you the password file it is using.
To disable it, see above. To change a session which uses password mode,
use "xpra upgrade".

See man page for more details.
It will use whatever port you tell it to use.
If you don't specify TCP mode, it will not be used.

Exiting is how you do it.

You cannot. If you want to do that, you should use a separate session
for each remote application.
