Xpra: Ticket #1094: Windows shadow server only works with -d all

Title sums it up nicely.

Using latest trunk r11687 Windows Beta on a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine (Apple Macbook 'Pro' bootcamped) and starting the server with:

Xpra_cmd.exe shadow :0 --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:2200

Does not work, and fails to connect with a login timeout from the client

Starting the server with:

Xpra_Cmd.exe shadow :0 --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:2200 -d all works fine, but prints an unhealthy amount (expected) into the CMD window.

One thing I forgot, I had to specify --compressors=lzo in order for the connection to go through from a Fedora 23 trunk r11695 client.

(also touched up description)

Wow. Weird one. Confirmed!

This took a looooong time, should be fixed in r11736 and backported to v0.16.x in r11737.

FYI: the debug flags made it more likely that it would work, but it could still fail!

Please close if that works for you.

Closing as fixed in r11738. However, I'm seeing some really weird keyboard layout issues, I'll file another ticket over that.

(oddly enough, I'm seeing the left arrow key send over as the Win key??!?)

EDIT Connecting from a Fedora 23 trunk r11753
