I'm trying to use xpra server. Seems like recent xpra version need its init script to run proxy server.

+1

I like xpra. But fuck this bloat.

[Comment 2 Benda Xu 2018-04-10 02:18:18 UTC]

It looks like that the bloat proxy can be disabled by using --start-via-proxy=no,

   xpra start --start-via-proxy=no :37

Since there is a workaround, not so urgent (but todo).
