Nothing. This should work.
I've just tried it and that worked for me with a v2.5.2 server and
latest trunk for the html5 client.

We've changed how and when this menu data is sent to the client:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/2310
But this should be backwards compatible.

Make sure that start-new-commands is enabled on the server:
* in the default config:
xpra showconfig | grep start-new-commands
* querying a running server:
xpra info | grep start-new-commands

Cheers,
