Just like your other ticket (#2067), this is a problem with the archlinux packaging and not xpra.
Complain there, not here.

Hello,

I debugged this issue. It's a problem with xpra_Xdummy which detects the wrong Xorg binary:

/usr/bin/Xorg is a wrapper that simply delegates to /usr/lib/Xorg.wrap.

/usr/lib/Xorg.wrap is the SUID wrapper which delegates to /usr/lib/Xorg.

/usr/lib/Xorg is the real executable.

The ld-linux magic does not work when calling /usr/bin/Xorg - the solution is simple, just call the original (unwraped) Xorg binary by adding:

elif [ -x "/usr/lib/Xorg" ]; then

XORG_BIN="/usr/lib/Xorg"
