xpra hasn't been working the last few updates.
Checked the server log, and it showed:

[EE] 2012/10/09 19:00:14 WinSwitchServer.assign_virt_utils() failed to load xpra, make sure it is installed: No module named xpra.dotxpra

Fixed that with sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xpra /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/ but I still can't start an xpra session.

This was with: Server: Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, Client: Windows 7 64bit Both are running v0.12.16

$ dpkg -l winswitch xpra
ii  winswitch                                  0.12.16-1
ii  xpra                                       0.6.0-5

I use these versions:

[eric@pc ~]$ pacman -Q winswitch
winswitch 0.12.16-1
[eric@pc ~]$ pacman -Q xpra-winswitch
xpra-winswitch 0.6.0-1

And here are the errors... I can't really distinguish between 'serious' errors , and 'non-important' errors

I can do some more tests, just tell me...

After fresh install 0.12.16 or update to 0.12.17 I get next error:

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file \
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/winswitch/util/xkbmap_util.py

Problem seems to be fixed by adding encoding information to xkbmap_util.py:
