Xpra: Ticket #644: only first "--start-child" is started over SSH

xpra start ssh:localhost:44 --start-child="xterm" --start-child="xeyes"

Xpra starts remote session with only first --start-child application i.e. xeyes will not be launched by the above example.

I cannot reproduce, again.

What are you doing different? Maybe your /etc/xpra/xpra.conf is different?

Replying to totaam:

It happens when I un-comment start-child = /etc/X11/Xsession true in xpra.conf. It works if there are no "start-child" options in config...

Confirmed, you need a start-child in one of the config files to reproduce this. Strange one!

Fixed in r7354, backport in r7355. Can I close or can you break it some other way?

Yes, it appears to be fixed, thanks. I'll continue field testing and report if I manage to find any more issues. :)

Thanks! Closing - feel free to re-open if you manage to break something.
