How can you start a desktop session on an xpra display directly without going through a display manager?

I am able to start an xpra session such as xpra start :100 followed by DISPLAY :100 firefox, but I can't get a desktop session running.



When I try something like DISPLAY :100 startx or DISPLAY :100 startkde I get errors such as couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console and another such



startkde: Shutting down... 
kdeinit5_wrapper: Warning: connect(/run/user/1000/kdeinit5__100) failed: : Connection refused
Error: Can not contact kdeinit5!
startkde: Done.
vfclists@pxl6  ~/tmp/xpra  Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
kwin: unable to claim manager selection, another wm running? (try using --replace)


There seems two be a number issues here.



  1. One of them is that startkde tries to use the existing display manager, but I prefer to get directly to the kdesktop itself without having to long to the display manager.


  2. The other is that the session seems to require access to a tty which probably results in the ``couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console` message.


The main thing is that I am not trying to use the physical devices, but in the manner of x2go or vnc where I use a virtual desktop.



If the failure comes from the desktop session trying to use physical resources how can the session be started to avoid that.
