Hello,

I set up remote workspaces with Xpra, and I connected to them using the
Gtk3 client on a Mac.

I noticed that I couldn't select a private key when I used the SSH option
from the drop-down menu.

Is this a limitation of the client or the functionality hasn't been
implemented?

Thanks,
Dan

The GUI doesn't have this option. Just like it doesn't have 99% of the
options available on the command line.

You can use the command line, or stick the options in your per-user
xpra.conf. ie:
echo "ssh=ssh -x -i /path/to/keyfile" >> ~/.xpra/xpra.conf

Cheers
Antoine
