If you try to start an application on a Fedora 24 server using WindowSwitch? 0.12.21, you get the following error dialog:

You have requested an xpra session but this server does not support it.

Attempting to start an xpra session directly using: xpra start ssh:localhost:100 --start-child=xchat

actually produces an application.

xpra is installed in the same location that winswitch thinks it is.

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:

$ winswitch_server

Following the instructions on ​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=oneiric

I get this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://winswitch.org/dists/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I think 'dists' is appearing somewhere it shouldn't (see the dists/dists) above.
