This TypeError is strange...

This is definitely a path problem, as you diagnosed.

This looks like it couldn't find the server socket at ~/.xpra/:13 to
connect to.  Are you sure the server was running?

In any case, I would recommend trying the latest development version,
which has a number of fixes.  In particular, one of the new features
that will be in the next version is that xpra should magically take
care of path issues for you.  (Instead of having to write that shell
script you wrote by hand, the server automatically writes it out at
startup, to a  location in ~/.xpra/ where the client knows to look for
it.)  I think it might also give better diagnostics if the server
isn't running -- I'm not sure.

If you still see that TypeError with the latest version, please send
the full traceback.  If for whatever reason you can't or don't try the
latest version, then please send the full traceback from 0.0.4, so I
can look at it...
