Description
Server: WinSwitch? 0.12.3, Ubuntu 10.04 (using the WinSwitch? repo)
Client: WinSwitch? 0.12.3, Debian Wheezy (using the WinSwitch? Sid repo)
"Match Username" was ticked, I customized the "Sound Monitor Device", and set the Menu Size to "Small" on the client (since the menus were huge on Debian by default - a different bug I suspect). Default Desktop Screen Size was set. Everything else was using the defaults (xpra for Seamless, vnc for Desktop).
I used a password on the server which contained (amongst other characters) the characters ")$;". Presumably one of these prevented the SSH connection from connecting, since the password prompt kept re-appearing. I changed the password on the Ubuntu server to only use an alphanumeric password, and then the password was accepted.
