Just FYI
1. I built a winswitch-0.12.21 rpm for openSuSE 13.2 and installed it. No problems.
2. I also ran the subversion version winswtch-0.12.21 from the Eric6 python IDE. No problems.
3. I accidentally removed xpra and discovered this: If I try to run application sessions from my
openSuSE 13.1 server when there is no xpra, they actually come up in a VNC session. (This is
actually an improvement, because Winswitch-0.12.21 on my openSUSE 13.1 server will provide VNC
desktops but not Xpra application session. (Haven't upgraded it yet, so don't know if this is
Winswitch or Xpra related.)
3a. When I run winswitch and xpra IS installed, there are a lot more gobject errors when winswitch
starts up.
4. I could not build an xpra-0.14.24 rpm. I have two spec files -- don't remember where I found
them, but somewhere on the xpra site. On the more complex spec file (with the options for fedora, I
get an "fg: no job control" error and nothing compiles. With the other spec file, a lot of
compiling happens and then in the codec section it crashes with 'command "gcc" failed exit status 1'.
4a. I installed a lot more dependencies based on these spec files, but it didn't solve anything.
5. I have the subversion version of xpra-0.14.24, also in the Eric6 IDE. Unfortunately, it doesn't
run because from the top at the "from platform import init" in xpra-launcher Eric can't find init.
I think I'll try xpra-0.15 and see what happens. I realize that xpra-0.14 is sort of old news at
this point.
