excuse me, the line should have been xpra start ssh://someuser@apphost.com
--start-child='google-chrome' --
Im not sure how to A) track who's got what session and be able to reattach
to an already running one..
or B) limit spawinng of xsessions to 1.
and finally C) handle a session that dies, hangs, or crashes, by starting a
new one.
