Have you tried to use Seamless RDP?

Because of the usability problems with SeamlessRDP, I have never looked into this possibility. Assuming that SeamlessRDP can be made to work reliably on Windows-8.1 or later, I can't see any reason why this could not be made to work with xpra. How well remains to be seen.
