Those are bugs which have already been fixed many *years* ago.
Your distributor is shipping a version with known bugs and serious
security vulnerabilities. Make of that what you will.

We have a whole wiki page documenting this sad state of affairs:
https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Packaging/DistributionPackages

Just install the official packages from xpra.org and everything will
work fine.

Cheers,
Antoine
