Xpra: Ticket #2645: 'xpra bug-report' not working on macOS

Running 'xpra bug-report' on macOS 10.15.3 does nothing. It just sits on the command line, no errors. Can be stopped with CTRL-C

Are you sure that the bug report window isn't just shown behind other windows?

r25651 will force the window to the front on macos

(facepalm) yes, it was. Sorry, that was stupid. To my defence I can say that the icon of the bug report tool on macOS is just the folder icon. So it looks unsuspicious in the task bar.

Fair point. As of r25658 + r25659, most subcommands will use a better default icon in the dock. (this required a macos specific stanza to be added everywhere..)

You can find a beta build with this change here: https://xpra.org/beta/MacOS.
