Actually your timing is almost perfect, with the High Holy Days and a vacation 
I have not had time to look at it anymore before now.

Agreed.  I am not real familiar with Mac and I don't think I have the settings 
right.

There must have been some old lib's in use as this went away after a reboot, 
don't remember which machine though.

Did that also update xpra? 
Or is that a separate update?
