It shouldn't make any difference, but it is worth a try.

It could be because Ubuntu 16.04 is the only distribution that is unable to use Xdummy. For more information see: https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Xdummy I'll try to take a look, feel free to create a ticket for it so I don't forget, I did see the warning when I tried, but the session started OK anyway. > If instead I use > > xpra start ssh/whirligig/9 --start=gnome-terminal > > I get a session running on display 9, although it seems a bit flaky -- > the display background colour keeps changing. I don't see any problems here. This could be a problem with your opengl graphics drivers client side.
