They're all related to xpra so this is the right place.

The vfb size will be adjusted when the client connects.
You can wait until that point to start the apps, then they will use the
correct vfb size. See --start-after-connect=yourapp

The default Ubuntu 17.10 installation should be using Xdummy already out
