I installed Xpra last night after finally finding it, following months or maybe it was years of complaining about not being able to resume X windows following dropped network connections. many thanks for this piece of software.

I do have an issue with it crashing whenever I use my scroll wheel. debug output looks like:

$ xpra start :36
$ DISPLAY=:36 xlogo &
[1] 5250
$ xpra -d all attach :36
Attached
#lots of output that I think is irrelevant, but can send in if you'd like, followed by, when I use the scroll wheel:
sending ['pointer-position', 1, (50, 80), []]
sending ['button-action', 1, 5, True, (50, 80), []]
Connection lost
sending ['button-action', 1, 5, False, (50, 80), []]
Error writing to socket
Connection lost
$

I can then run xpra start :36; xpra attach :36 and any windows I had running in the session are still there. still, annoying to do every time I hit the scroll wheel.


regarding (from the readme) "If you work out a similar line for another OS, like Fedora or FreeBSD or whatever, please send it in": this was on fedora 9, and the dependencies I needed to install (with yum install) to get it to build were: xorg-x11-server-Xvfb Pyrex libX11-devel libXtst-devel libXcomposite- devel libXdamage-devel pygobject2-devel pygtk2-devel gtk2-devel

at least, I think so. I'm not sure if all of those were needed; my strategy was to just kept installing stuff with names similar to what you list for debian packages, until it built. it may also be possible there are more, which I happened to have already installed.
