place to make such discussions?

Thank you very much. I am reinstalling xpra now enabling the beta
repository, too.
I'll test and I will comment below the ticket.
If I should install from source, I will try it, too.

Thanks for the tip!
Yes, I need to specify the initial resolution, otherwise windows of
launched apps are waaaay too big.
I'll try the solution with environment variable.
(XPRA_DEFAULT_VFB_RESOLUTION=1600x900)
I also used that switch because I understood from the wiki that I have to
use that switch to benefit of the pros of Xdummy, but maybe I got it
wrong...
I was trying to get the best performance running xpra on Amazon Web
Services EC2 instance without dedicated GPU.

Yes, I discovered this myself. I am investigating ways to change my virtual
network. Thanks for the advice anyway! :-)

Yes, now it works on my PC running Arch Linux, too.
Thank you very much for the quick fix!
