By desktop, I assume you mean virtual desktops? What desktop environment
are you using? Unity?
Is this a regression from 0.12? (I didn't think much had changed in this
area..)
There was a bug before 0.12.3, but I believe it has been fixed already:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/555

Can you post the client log by running it with:
xpra -d workspace attach ..

Hmm, one of the major improvements in 0.13 is the more dynamic selection
of picture encodings to suit the bandwidth, latency constraints and
picture data size..
But this should only kick in when a video encoding is selected (which
should be the default for most people), definitely not with PNG/RGB so
this sounds like a bug :(
How do you select PNG? From the command line or from the tray?
(does switching to the other method change anything?)

FYI: This "above limit" message tends to happen when the link is
saturated or slow. In which case PNG is probably not the best encoding
to use. (not an excuse for the bug above though!)
