I was a bit puzzled for a while that the command
  install/bin/xpra attach :13
did not appear to do anything. The problem was that my DISPLAY environment
variable was set to the xpra server
  export DISPLAY=:13
so the client was displaying inside the server
perhaps the documentation could be updated to highlight this gotcha and
suggest opening two terminals, one to start applications in the server and
one to connect to it.
