Description
The documentation reads:
Generally, if you have only one xpra server running on a machine, then you can omit the number entirely; xpra attach alone will attach to the lone xpra server on the current machine regardless of its number,
xpra attach ssh:frodo
will similarly attach to the lone xpra server on a remote machine.
What happens if several xpra
instances are running, but the user has only access to one of them? I would expect "the right thing" to happen, but the documentation is not very clear about it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Replying to totaam:
As long as "xpra list" only sees one session, attach via ssh should work as advertised. Is that not what you are seeing?
I don't have a means to test that, but your explanation seems reasonable. However, then the documentation (man page) is imprecise -- "if you have only one xpra server running on a machine" could be replaced by the weaker "if xpra list
returns only one session", which makes a huge difference in a multi-user scenario.

I don't understand what that means.
