I get two copies of each app that I try to open. When I run htop I see two instances of the server and if I try to kill one they both die. Further, if I close one instance of the two apps, both close.

Would you mind giving me a bit more details? What versions of winswith (as it is now known), and versions of NX, Xpra and VNC. Which session type are you using when you get this bug? (you can change the session type in the server's preferences or hold the "special" key - generally shift - when clicking the start menu to get a dialog) You may want to try to disable session preloading in your server.conf and see if that solves the problem. Also, if you aren't using it already, you may want try current svn trunk and see if if has been fixed already.

The most notable changes in this release are: * SSH: support rewritten using twisted-conch (should solve the problems people have been reporting with SSH tunnels) * Tigervnc packages updated (based on svn r4196) * Xpra updated (upstream trunk + usual set of patches) * MSWindows and MacOSX builds updated (now using Python 2.6 and Python 2.7, with the latest GTK 2.22) * OpenSUSE 11.x, Fedora (all, inc rawhide) and Ubuntu Natty packages are now also available. Other minor items: * SVG icon support now enabled by default * automatic keyboard mapping support for Xpra * fixed socket permissions * IRC channel: #winswitch on freenode for help! Please do let me know if you encounter any issues.

Also, the keyboard mapping is completely off - delete is mapped to a letter key, lots of letter keys are mapped to numbers, etc. Also, many times the menu gets stuck - I'll open it and nothing is highlighted when I roll my mouse over it and clicking just closes the menu, but often works fine the next time I try something. Is this using Xpra sessions? If so, can you try with jpeg compression? Holding the modified key (which is 'Shift' by default) when clicking on the start menu entries will allow you to choose the session type and their options (ie: jpeg). Have you tried using NX or VNC for the sessions? Does it help? > I'm using OS X (10.6) as the client and Ubuntu 10.10 for the server. OK, I'll try to test this particular combination when I get a chance.
