Hi there again!

I am running Ubuntu 12.10 and it seems it doesn't work as a server, client works well.

Here is the error that the winswitch_server prints:

Please tell me what I can do to track down the problem

This adds an option to only start a command inside winwitch, useful for headless servers that want some graphical apps started at boot.

• setup a launcher like this:

  Exec=winswitch_command_wrapper gcalctool
  

• DO NOT RUN WINSWITCH
• click the launcher
• the program does not load

The wrapper is meant to detect that winswitch is not running (with a short socket timeout) then launch the app normally. Apparently it does not :(
