[winswitch] First time install of xpra: black screen in all windows.

[G.W. Haywood]

Hello again,

Nearly three weeks has elapsed since my post of 11th September at 11:10 BST

https://lists.devloop.org.uk/pipermail/shifter-users/2021-September/002873.html

which contains descriptions of three connection attempts, all of which fail in
the way described in the subject line, and the server log for these attempts.

I can trace no reply to my post of 11 September, and my reminder, sent to the
list on 19 September at 13:08 BST, does not appear in the archive.

To briefly recap, I can run a session 'locally' by starting XPRA and an xterm
on the XPRA server and connecting to it from a client on the same machine but
when the client is remote, the connection fails to render the screen display.
Instead of showing the window content, the screen is completely black.  Apart
from that the xterm appears to be functional.  I can run commands from it and
the login session on the server acts upon them - for example I can 'touch' a
non-existent file in the user's home directory and it is created as expected.

What am I doing wrong?
