Or starting virtualbox from a terminal forwarded via xpra?

IIRC, libreoffice is one of those applications that doesn't support multiple instances per user. That may well be the problem here. > I > have debugging enabled but can't find any useful info to help resolve the > issue. To debug this, I would start a plain xpra session without winswitch and connect from the macos system, then gradually make things more complicated until something breaks. ie: * forward just an xterm via xpra * start libreoffice * start virtualbox * add winswitch into the mix There isn't enough information there to be able to help you.
