Hi Alex,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried your suggestions and here is what
i can see.
1- with --start-child="xterm -ls"
What i see is that only the xterm get the environment variable from
profile.d . All other application from the Xpra menu does does get those
variables. So does not work for me.
2- with --start-desktop
This work but i dont't need and want the full desktop. In our
infrastructure(Ovirt) some people use full desktop over Spice
protocol(virt-viewer). and the others used Xpra for seamless integration.
The only way i was able to make this work is to remote execute a ssh
command like this "bash -l -c xpra start :display". For what i understand
this work because the xpra server is started with a login shell and
child process will get all the variables from profile.d.
The only weird thing is that in Centos7 i never had this kind of problem.
Not sure why Ubuntu have a different behavior.
Thanks & Regards.
