After upgrading a linux server to openssh 6.7, I'm no longer able to connect to it from MS Windows (winswitch 0.12.20). In the server's log I see "fatal: Unable to negotiate a key exchange method [preauth]". I have no trouble connecting to the server via putty.

It seems that this is a twisted-conch issue: ​http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7672

However, I assume that even once that's fixed, some work will be required on winswitch's part, too, even if only to create a new build; so opening a ticker here, too.

In file ​http://winswitch.org/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages, as well as in Packages for other Debian/Ubuntu? versions, xpra is mentioned as a dependency for winswitch, but its description is missing in the mentioned Packages. The package correctly resides in ​http://winswitch.org/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/xpra-0.0.7.16.i386.deb and after downloading and installing with

dpkg --install xpra-0.0.7.16.i386.deb

the installation of winswitch from the repository succeedes.

When I install winswitch on Centos 6.4, I get the following error. Installation went fine, no issues. (Windows version worked fine too, no issues.) I'm assuming it needs something similar to the following added:

        try:
            glib.threads_init()
        except AttributeError:
            #old versions of glib may not have this method
            pass
        try:
            gobject.threads_init()
        except AttributeError:
            #old versions of gobject may not have this method
            pass

Here is the actual error message I'm getting:
