Please don't use dropbox for attachments unless you intend to keep the
file there forever, with the same URL.
Those browsing the mailing list in the future will be hitting dead ends
otherwise.

The GUI doesn't have this option. Just like it doesn't have 99% of the
options available on the command line.

You can use the command line, or stick the options in your per-user
xpra.conf. ie:
echo "ssh=ssh -x -i /path/to/keyfile" >> ~/.xpra/xpra.conf
