I can't let these falsehoods go unanswered, so here goes.

Bugs found in the xpra packages, including this one, do get fixed in very short 
order.
On the other hand, the Debian and Ubuntu packages have never received any 
updates. None.
Even when critical bug fixes or security issues have been found and fixed 
upstream. Fact. (we have a wiki page documenting this in great detail)

If you want to make claim that this is "an error in the packaging of the
upstream binary", you should first make sure that this is the case.

The number one request we get on our support channels (IRC, tickets, ML)
is from Ubuntu or Debian users complaining that something doesn't work
right - the answer we always give, which has a success rate in the high
90s is to install the official packages from xpra.org.

Had Ubuntu and Debian packaged things properly (with rencode) and
applied the dozens of fixes to the branch they split from, we wouldn't
be having this ticket, and we would have saved hundreds of hours of
support work at our end - not to mention the damage done to the image of
the project.
