[Feature Request] Seamless mode in html5 clinet

[ikeji]

When I use xpra native client and open 2 windows, it opens 2 native windows. When I use xpra html5 client and open 2 windows, it opens one native browser window and 2 remote windows in one native browser window. Can we use two native browser window for each remote window?

Current behavior on native client.

Steps:

$ xpra start :10 --start=xterm
$ xpra attach :10
# In the xterm inside xpra
$ xeyes

Result:

• "xpra attach" open a window for xterm.
• "xeyes" command open a separate native window.

Current behavior on html5 client.

Steps:

$ xpra start :10 --start=xterm --bind-tcp=172.0.0.1:10000
$ xdg-open http://localhost:10000
# In the xterm inside browser window
$ xeyes

Result:

• "xdg-open" opens browser and xterm window on it.
• "xeyes" command opens a window inside already opened browser window.

Proposed behavior:

• "xdg-open" will open browser and open another browser (popup) window for xterm.
• "xeyes" command will open a separate browser (popup) window.
• When user change browser popup size, remote window size will be changed also.

Why?

• Seamless Mode is one of the benefit using xpra why not do it in html5 client?

This is not possible, browsers won't let you create real windows at the rate needed by xpra.
