Hi! I installed winswitch on 3 systems of mine in the last days:

1.) Linux Mint Debian Editon (based on Debian Wheezy) 2.) Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 3.) Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

On 1.) and 2.) It worked well locally, although I was not able to use 1.) from 2.) - see ​https://winswitch.org/forum/topic/15/ for details

This issue is about the 3rd machine, the Ubuntu 10.10.

I did install winswitch like this:

curl https://winswitch.org/gpg.asc | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://winswitch.org/ maverick main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winswitch.list;
apt-get update
apt-get install winswitch

When starting the applet, it appeared in the statusbar, but reacted very sluggish (which did not get better even after 15 minutes) I could not open a session locally neither remote on the 1.) machine, although the second issue seems to stem from version incompatibilities of xpra.

I'll attach the logfile.

I've got a remote tunnel, via

ssh -L 8022:host1:22

and connect to host2 via winswitch and the localhost:8022 tunnel.

Now, if I stop that outer SSH session (eg. via the "\n\n~." escape sequence) winswitch sees that the connection is severed, and displays "reconnect" in the servers menu.

But this doesn't work; on the first "reconnect" winswitch says that it couldn't connect, and only on the second try it really reconnects.

So it seems like there's some old state that is not being updated when a connection breaks.

As reported ​here on the mailing list, there may be an issue with win32 ssh public key authentication.

Re-test it.
