SSH Shadow geometry

[JohelEGP]

Greetings.

Thank you for this great software.

As a follow up of #3320, running xpra shadow ssh:server:port:display,geometry-option does not handle geometry options just like local displays.

It'd like to use geometry options with a server through SSH.

Since geometry options are part of the CONNECTIONSTRING, it seems they have no place in config files. I did try setting a geometry=500x300 option, to no avail.

Thanks for your attention.

First of all, the syntax you are using is well out of date, please use this form with the commit above - which works-for-me(tm):

xpra shadow ssh://server:sshport/DISPLAY?geometry=1024x640@0x0

Which at least stands a chance of getting parsed correctly in the future.

The geometry options are part of the display string, which got overloaded over time.. so the fix above is really quite ugly.
Unfortunately there is no way to make this backwards compatible either, as the client cannot know in advance if the server supports the new syntax.
The whole thing is likely to change as we may need a more generic solution for #3476.
(so this may break again before the 4.4 release)

Thank you. Now it works with:

xpra shadow ssh://server:sshport/DISPLAY?geometry=1024x640@0x0

So without : before DISPLAY, and with a ? instead of , before geometry.
