I see

$ xdg-open /dev/shm/byobu-rlL1p8KA/printscreen 
server returned error code 127
  no clients found matching: *

I think I roughly know what the problem is: The environment variables are kind of stale (this terminal is part of a byobu, rather that directly invoked by gnome-terminal), although I don't know what exactly, since display is set correctly:

$ env | grep -i display
CKCON_X11_DISPLAY=:2
XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session0
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
DISPLAY=:3

[Antoine Martin]

It should work. * means all clients.
This is what I see with -d command:

Can you try with -d command?

I must be doing something wrong:

Ah, so you're not talking to the xpra server at all - no connection attempt is made.

Probably because your shell doesn't have XPRA_SERVER_SOCKET defined.
This environment variable should be point to the server socket.

As of r27534, we'll use the $DISPLAY when that's available.

Replying to Antoine Martin:

Indeed stale env variables it is!

Good fix, but it's not going to help in my case. I do have XPRA_SERVER_SOCKET defined as the server that originally started that byobu-server (XPRA_SERVER_SOCKET=/run/user/1000/xpra/pc-2).

However, I don't expect you to fix that: There is a clear issue that byobu is a bit of a dum-dum when it comes to re-init-ing its environment (actually, I don't know how would that be possible to be honest).

Thank you for the enhancement.

I've filed ​https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/2397 to be able then to do set-option -ga update-environment " XPRA*"
