[winswitch] Floating point exception when trying to start application on xpra display

[dan l]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } The versions I am using are not supported? Would be happy to try a supported version and file a ticket.

Calibre runs fine here on Fedora 24, I have tested it briefly with
trunk, 0.17.x and 0.14.x.

Please try to see if you can reproduce the problem with a supported
version and if so, file a ticket with all the required details (full
version numbers, etc)

Cheers
