It will interfere with the clipboard if both Xpra and VirtualBox try to synchronize it, this is known to cause system crashes.

The default size of the desktop mode should be 1920x1080. Changing the default is documented here: https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Desktop For completeness, here are 2 more options: * not recommended: change the xorg configuration and/or the "xvfb" command line option * run the server using: XPRA_DEFAULT_VFB_RESOLUTION=1280x1024 xpra start-desktop --start=fluxbox Note: the resolution chosen must be supported by the server, you use "xrandr" to get the full list. > Also, I’ve tried to use different desktops (kde, gnome and unity), and to > disconnect my physical second screen from my laptop.

Otherwise I don’t know if it can be a bug maybe… The wiki tends to have better documentation than the man page these days. > Thanks a lot, and of course, thanks a lot for your great work and for this > tool! Thanks. The title of your email refers to a crash, but I don't see any details on that.
