Install msjnc application from: ​http://mad-scientist.us/juniper.html

Server running application is Ubuntu 14.04-1.

Application is installed into window-switch menus as "Internet->VPN Session Disconnect". (It's actual name in the system is "Network Connect")

Attempting to run it from Window-Switch results in an xpra session briefly starting, and then closing down. Logs don't seem to match up with anything (I don't see any session logs that mention msjnc, and although I have two xpra processes and a Xvfb-for-Xpra- process left over, claiming to be :67 and :68, my only logs are for other numbers and appear to be prior sessions).

Running the application from the server itself, using:

xpra start ssh:127.0.0.1:100 --start-child=msjnc

is successful.

Apparently the windows xpra client doesn't accept the "--start-child" parameter, so I'm not quite sure how to test it when starting from remote.

The application does not succeed when running from window-switch on the local machine, either.

xpra isn't working in 0.12.20 Server is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, client is Windows 7 64bit Both run WinSwitch? 0.12.20. Server's xpra is v0.14.6-2

Part of server log:

I've downgraded xpra to 0.13.9-1 and that's working.

Xming is failing to launch because one of the PATH variables is unicode and Python 2.7 doesn't accept unicode there.

Fix would be to add for k, v in env.items(): env[k] = str(v) to exec_nopipe in winswitch/util/process_util.py

I've tested this in a Python shell since I'm not set up to build WinSwitch?.
