can't you put the flag before the subcommand? and can't you pass the flag when you launch the gui? i haven't been using it lately so i don't remember

defaults do matter, but defaults can be changed. if it only takes a four-line shell script to change them, they don't matter much

The manpage implies you can't, but I tested and you can.

I just tested and passing the flag when you launch the gui has no effect.

hmm, that last item seems like a pretty serious flaw; it makes the default matter a lot

If you don't want to change the global defaults (in `/etc/xpra`), or your personal config (`~/.config/xpra`), you should be able to stick `ssh=ssh` in a `$HOST.xpra` session file and the launcher should honour it when you open the file / double-click on it. (add `autoconnect=true` and the launcher won't be seen unless the connection fails)

thank you for sharing your expertise!

Thanks for sharing multiple solutions; I'll try the configuration setting tomorrow.
