Description
When installed from source with setup.py install --user, the generated xpra.conf still points the xvfb to /etc/ to find the xorg.conf file rather than adjusting to the account-local path where the generated xorg.conf has been installed.
Also .xpra/xpra.conf is not populated, and must be moved/symlinked from e.g. .local/etc/xpra.conf, or xpra should check there as well.

It's more difficult than it looks, the xpra.conf file is generated during the build step... the install step may use a different path, yet we need to know the path to set the location of the xorg.conf file referenced in this config file.

Yes, that's a known bug. Thanks for the ticket.
distutils makes this harder than it should be.
