[winswitch] unexpected xpra session

Sorry; my usual session start command is
xpra start ssh/whirligig --start="gnome-terminal 
--window-with-profile=Blue" &> ~/xpra.log &

It wasn't clear to me either whether the session given by "xpra list" on 
the server was the one I was "working on" or the "new" one. I think it 
must have been a new terminal window on the same session, but I don't 
know how that would have happened.
