Can you point me to what you are reading so we are on the same page?

You can "shadow" an existing display, but not a seamless application
running through xpra.
xpra supports multiple clients connected simultaneously to the same
server, but this feature is experimental, not well tested, and not
available via winswitch at present.

Even with the current "multi-client" experimental code, this is not
going to work: as soon as one of the clients minimizes a window, it will
no longer be displayed on the other.
This is the most pressing item on the ticket for this feature request:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/41
It shouldn't particularly difficult to implement, but multi-client
support isn't a high priority at the moment.
