Code search
With google code search going away, I did a quick eval of the options. It was surprisingly easy - I just tried an android search, only one found answers: Grepcode
- includes android trees
- eclipse/intellij integration
- API - you can see all source code they crawl, including versions
- even allows binary download for jar/javadoc/source
Other options:
http://www.koders.com - no android
http://opensearch.krugle.org - even fewer projects indexed

Direct connection to an xpra window in winswitch
Use case:
- you have a server with winswitch, where you run your applications
- server is behind a firewall - only SSH port open
- a client computer - you don't want to install the full winswitch, only Xpra
On server: "xpra list" -> find the port number ( :64 in my case )
On client:
- copy .winswitch/server/sessions/PORT/session.pass to local machine
- xpra attach ssh:HOST:PORT --password-file=...session.pass
Winswitch seems to start (for an xpra session ) one Xvfb-for-Xpra server, dbus and gnome-keyring -daemon. Haven't tried VNC sessions - I'm experimenting with xpra, will try NX next. The cool thing so far with xpra is that it's very easy to resize the application window - not so easy with VNC or normal 'desktop' sharing.

Remote display - done right
It's mostly a wrapper around various existing technologies - VNC, NX,
and the new http://xpra.org/. But it's cross-platform, and very easy to use - shocking in today's world of hard to configure and complex software.
The main goal is to start an app on a machine, and than continue to use it on a different machine. I start Eclipse and chrome on my main desktop, than when I use the laptop I just 'attach' to them. Speed is pretty good, certainly faster then running it on the laptop ( which has far less RAM ).
Xpra is similar with VNC - it starts a dedicated Xvfb server for each application to keep them isolated. The wrapper and Xpra are python - I looked briefly, pretty clean code.
On the 'easy to use' - uses mDNS for discovery, it creates the needed SSH tunnels between machines transparently. Each machine runs a small server that handles the attach/detach and additional ports.
They provide easy instructions to install on mac, windows and many versions of linux.
Issues: I'm not sure I fully understand the authentication and the protection of various ports. The firewall should help a bit, but I need to look more into the configs.
I also think using XMPP or some other common protocol for the machine-to-machine communication would have been better.
