I love xpra and used to use it every day (using a Mac laptop now and haven't figured out how to make xpra not suck on it w.r.t. modifier keys and dock / cmd-tab support).

A big problem with xpra in myind is that the wire protocol doesn't even try to be version independent. If you're using slightly different versions on client and server, it just falls down.

If you're using distro packages this is fine e as long as all clients and servers are similar enough to have overlap in the versions that they package. Otherwise you're building from source on every client and server, on various platforms.
