Protocols: Xpra
General Information
Xpra
is a seamless protocol for X windows.
Click here to see how it compares to the other protocols.
Xpra
is open-source (available under the GPL
).
Since the
Xpra
server uses the X Window
system,
running the Xpra
server requires an operating system supporting X11
windowing servers, therefore it does not run on Microsoft Windows.
That does not preclude you from using the client on those systems and connecting to Xpra
sessions running somewhere else.
Features
Window Switch sessions usingXpra
support the following features:
- Seamless mode is fully supported as this is a core feature of
Xpra
- Starting, suspending and resuming of sessions is fully supported
- Full desktop mode
Xpra
does not support shadowing.
