The Win Switch menu appears to offer the last choice in the .desktop file these typically appear to be the unity specific options which would normally be ignored / hidden in other environments. The files can of course be copied and modified which clears up the problem. It would of course be nice if the relevant parser could be adjusted to take the 1st option in the file (which is the default option AFAIK).

e.g.

Exert from the firefox.desktop file...

From the beginning of the file

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox Web Browser
....
Exec=firefox %u

The Win Switch menu shows the last option however....

From the end of the file

[Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow]
Name=Open a New Private Window
...
Exec=firefox -private-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;

Hi all, I can not install xpra on Ubuntu 17.10 Artful AArdvark because I get the following:

W: GPG error: http://winswitch.org artful Release: The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 18ADB31CF18AD6BB Antoine Martin <[email protected]>
E: The repository 'http://winswitch.org artful Release' is not signed.

I followed instructions on: ​https://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=artfulbeta

and on: https://winswitch.org/trac/ticket/304

Steps to reproduce:

apt-get install curl
curl https://winswitch.org/gpg.asc | apt-key add -

and

apt-get install dirmngr
apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://xpra.org/gpg.asc

both get me the above message; while

apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys F18AD6BB

results in a connection timeout.

Please advice, Thanks

xterm started as application session on the remote server runs with umask 0000. This has security impact as files/directories created by users are then world-writable. Expected: some sensible default like 002 or 022.

Version: winswitch 0.12.23-1, xpra 2.1.1-r16658-1

Possible cause: winswitch server assumes umask will be set in /etc/bashrc. That is true on Red Hat derived systems. But it is not true on Ubuntu (tested 16.04 LTS) where I think umask is expected to be set by PAM session (pam_umask.so).

Perhaps related, the PAM file provided by /etc/pam.d/xpra seems to assume a Red Hat style system and most of the PAM modules referenced there do not exist on a Ubuntu system.
