[winswitch] Awkward...

[Hugo]

Hi, I really don't want to make this any longer than necessary as it is
embarrassing as hell, but is this software for real? The reason I ask is
that while the website looks like this is a mature product still under
active development, but:

1) The starter instructions on the initial page are missing the bit that
you must start a session on the server, even when the first suggested
command strongly looks like it should create the damm session itself.

2) Every single command I have tried on this has lead to a variety of
unhandled python exceptions which... well... have you guys heard of try,
except, and all that? I mean if you can't code it right the first fucking
time, at least try to catch the fucking exceptions in some fucking useful
error messages.

3) Couldn't get it work at all in any way.

Following is some of the output I have had to endure:

1) running your own fucking example command:
xpra start ssh:192.168.1.114:100
--start-child=/home/hugo/jmeter/runjmeter.sh
2014-06-09 10:46:01,970 OpenGL support not enabled: No module named gdkgl
bash: .xpra/run-xpra: No such file or directory
2014-06-09 10:46:02,293 connection closed after 0 packets received (0.0
bytes) and 1 packets sent (25K bytes)
2014-06-09 10:46:02,293 Connection lost

2) running your won fucking example command AGAIN:
xpra start ssh:192.168.1.114:100
--start-child=/home/hugo/jmeter/runjmeter.sh
2014-06-09 10:47:55,424 OpenGL support not enabled: No module named gdkgl

Stop developing software. I rest my case.
