I installed as per instructions in:

​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=raring

later I found it necessary to do:

  sudo apt-get install x264

therefore, maybe x264 should become a dependency?

I'm using Ubuntu 13 LTS.

When I call the winswitch client, nothing appears in the system tray. Since there seems to be no other way to access the GUI, this renders the program unusable. A script of my command line call to winswitch_client is attached.

System details: OS: Debian Wheezy Architecture: amd64 Windows manager: XMonad System Tray program: Trayer

The Windows plink binary needs updating as it has very limited MAC algorithm support and newer Linux distros have disabled those by default.
