I thought that might be what you meant, but there's nothing there.
Ah :(
on OSX and Linux:
.winswitch/
A gzipped copy of that directory, which includes a few log files, is
available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wog3aqyn2epn5z1/winswitch.tar.gz
Please run in debug mode to get more info in the logs (and make sure no
passwords are in them), preferably using:
winswitch_applet --debug-mode
or by setting debug=on in the applet config file.
I noticed a few references to a VirtualBox virtual machine that I have
installed (although I never told Windows-Switch about it, nor was the
VM running at any point during or after the installation). I wonder if
that could be causing some trouble. Could connected VNC sessions be
messing with the installation? I also saw a reference to that.
The built-in server detected your virtualbox sessions and will expose
them to *clients* connected to this machine as a *server*.
This should not interfere with anything, but just in case you can
disable it in the config file:
server/protocols/virtualbox.conf
or by running with:
--without-virtualbox
Let me know where the right place would be to file a ticket if neither
you nor anybody else on this thread can help with the log/config files.

Thank you yet again!

Antoine, thank you for your fast response!
You should install the mDNS bits, without those you will have
to connect to your server by IP address which is tedious (and
often changes between restarts).
With mdns correctly installed, your client will see your
server appear on the network and connect to it automatically.
I'm not worried about that--I have a dynamic DNS updater on my
router, a static local IP address, and appropriate port
forwarding (already configured for SSH on an alternative port).
Do you see anything in the global application menu?
There should be options there for connecting to servers and
starting apps.
Forgive me, but what is the "global application menu"? I have not
come across that yet. (The dock icon has no application-specific
options, left- or right-clicking.)
*The* menu, since there is only one on OSX, that big thing that
always sits at the top left of your screen!
You may want to file a ticket and add your log files.
What's the best way to do that. Where are the log files, and how
can I access them?
on OSX and Linux:
.winswitch/

Thanks again for however you can help.

Please forgive the elementary nature of this question,
but most of my
previous experience has been in Windows, and only about a
year ago have I
started really getting into Linux (Ubuntu), and only just
within the last
few weeks have I consistently started using a Mac as my
primary computer.
I've installed Windows-Switch on my Ubuntu 13.04 machine
according to the
instructions here:
https://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=raring
I followed up by running "sudo apt-get install xpra
python-wimpiggy" (since
"sudo apt-get upgrade" indicated that those packages
could be upgraded, but
it wouldn't do it automatically) before launching
Windows-Switch from the
application launcher (which I assume I won't have to do
in the future,
since it'll launch automatically on startup, right?),
It should, though desktop environment changes can break things.
(and Ubuntu in particular)
and it went through
the initial run process. I got a few error messages
(something about having
to do SSH tunneling and something about what I think was
related to
automatic discovery of clients), but I'm not worried
about that quite yet.
You should install the mDNS bits, without those you will have
to connect to your server by IP address which is tedious (and
often changes between restarts).
With mdns correctly installed, your client will see your
server appear on the network and connect to it automatically.
(Eventually, the program I expect to be using through
this is Pidgin, but I
don't have that up and running on this computer yet.) The
point is that,
unlike what I'll describe below on the Mac, the Ubuntu
machine properly
places a Windows-Switch icon in the Ubuntu equivalent of
a system tray, as
pictured here: https://winswitch.org/documentation/start.html
The problem I'm having is on my primary laptop (which I
ultimately want to
display the Pidgin process). I followed the instructions
for Intel-based
Macs here: http://winswitch.org/downloads/
(My computer is a MacBook Pro Retina, running 10.8.4 on a
2.4 GHz Intel
Core i7--is there any other information that would be
diagnostically
relevant?)
That should be enough.
During the installation, I dragged the icon into the
Applications folder,
then launched it. After clicking "Open" on the obligatory
are-you-sure-because-this-was-downloaded-from-the-interwebs!
message, it
put an icon on my dock and briefly displayed a
notification saying that it
was setting some stuff up for first use (like it did on
the Ubuntu
machine). However, it does not create an icon in my
"system tray", as I
expected (and as is pictured here:
https://winswitch.org/documentation/start.html ).
Those screenshots are out of date for OSX, newer versions use
the global menu to interact with the application instead of a
tray icon.
Instead, the dock icon
remains with a little light underneath it indicating that
it's currently
running. Clicking on the dock icon for Window-Switch does
nothing, nor does
it have any windows associated with it.
Do you see anything in the global application menu?
There should be options there for connecting to servers and
starting apps.
Quitting and restarting the process
makes no difference; neither does uninstalling and
reinstalling it (which,
on a Mac, I understand is accomplished merely by sending
the item to Trash
from the Applications folder, then re-copying it from the
downloaded image).
Correct.
Could anyone shed some light and help me figure this out,
please?
I haven't tested on OSX for a while.
You may want to file a ticket and add your log files.

Thank you so very much in advance!
