xpra tries hardly to use Xdummy as a driver. But Xdummy doesn't work out-of-the box with solus. Instead xvfb should be used. The switch '--without-Xdummy' doesn't change the default configuration. So a patch is needed to set a minimal working configuration.
Also the setup procedure has hardwired paths and linux distro detection. So some paths have to be patched.
/lib/systemd/system
->/usr/lib64/systemd/system
/etc/dbus-1/system.d
->/usr/share/dbus-1/system.d
/etc/default
->/etc/sysconfig
/etc/xpra
->/usr/share/defaults/xpra
Additionally the default configuration directory has to be added to some path definitions:
/usr/share/defaults/xpra
inget_default_conf_dirs()
andget_ssl_cert_dirs()
