[Parti-discuss] some apps run funky in xpra - confirmation dialog unaccessible, keyboard is not working on second monitor

[Antoine Martin]

keyboard support is problematic.
It is very easy to get keys stuck, for example: use alt-tab to move away 
from an xpra session then click on it to regain focus and you will find 
that 'alt' is stuck...
Other virtualization tools manage to do this OK, I don't really 
understand the keymapping stuff in Xorg or gtk well enough to do 
anything about it, sorry.
