Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1404

I tried using xpra-extra-params in firejail.config to try to solve #1401. To do this, I put xpra-extra-params --start="fcitx -r". However, I ran into this error:

xpra initialization error:
 too many extra arguments (2): only expected a display number

I presume this is an issue of argument order?

Okay, this is still an issue. I tried e.g. xpra-extra-params --opengl=no and got the error

firejail: x11.c:957: x11_start_xpra_new: Assertion `server_argv[spos-1] == NULL' failed.
Aborted

Huh, this seems to only be an issue if xpra-attach is yes and xpra-extra-params is not null.
