Message-ID: <4F17187E.8060906@wadhome.org>

Hi,

We're trying to use xpra to allow two people to concurrently use the 
same application. We're both using Ubuntu. It mostly works, but when the 
2nd user connects, the 1st connection is lost. Is it possible to use 
this to allow two people to use the same application at the same time?

No, unfortunately, xpra just doesn't support that, and -- because of
the various hacks xpra has to use under the hood to get X to work in
this mode at all -- there are technical obstacles to adding it. Sorry!
