Seamless mode is how xpra is generally used, via the xpra start subcommand.
This mode allows for individual windows to be forwarded to the client, these windows appear on the client's desktop just like other local applications.
All window management operations are handled directly by the client's operating system or window manager, which means that any latency between client and server does not get in the way of window management actions like minimizing, moving or resizing the windows.
This makes a huge difference in usability when compared to other modes (desktop and shadow) and other remote desktop solutions like VNC.
Obviously, this also means that unlike VNC, the remote windows are not trapped within a single desktop window. (except with the html5 client) where the windows must still be contained within the browser's canvas).
