One main loop to rule them all...
Not a priority until we can figure out how to integrate avahi with twisted too.

​http://www.indelible.org/ink/twisted-bonjour/

Packaging should be done with: ​py2app

Server seems to work OK on OSX (after installing all the required dependencies using macports) and it can authenticate users using python-PAM, but I have added support for Kerberos5 anyway using ​pykpass There is a new server option: "authentication_module" = [pam|pykpass].

We will also need to load the list of X applications from somewhere... and OSX does not follow the freedesktop spec, so we may just test for a few (xterm, ...) and create these "*.desktop" files in ~/shifter/server/menu/ on first start.

TigerVNC can be built on OSX, but I cannot find any ready-made images, see this: ​tigervnc-devel message More info on nasm/ld bug ​here

nxproxy can be built with macports' help (libpng, jpeg): ​nxproxy-apple

xpra: client and server both build fine (with ​this simple patch) But only the client is usable... (keymap issues for server)

When a session terminates, we should clean up a few things:

• pid file (on client)
  
• password file (both) - can also remove this one when the client is no longer actor
  
• icon file (both)
  
• session file - eventually? (both)
  
• ...
