+**Atom**\\
+If you want to avoid to manually switch to another stage or load extra modules, you can follow this example.\\
+Thanks goes to Johannes Hörmann.
+
+A suitable xpra wrapper script can do the extra work before you program starts:
+{{{ #!sh
+#!/bin/bash -x
+
+module --force purge
+module load Stages/2018a GCCcore/.5.5.0 Xpra/1.0.11-Python-2.7.14
+module load Atom/1.25.0
+
+exec $@
+}}}
+
+* Add the executable bit (chmod +x xpra_wrapper)
+* Add the line {{{exec-wrapper = /absolute/path/to/xpra_wrapper}}} to ~/.xpra/xpra.conf
+  * if you have used xpra before, this file should already exist
+
+Now you can bring up a remote Atom with this single command
+{{{ #!sh
+client> xpra start ssh:<USERID>@jurecavis01.fz-juelich.de --start-child="atom -w" --min-quality=90 --dpi=96
+}}}
+In order not to detach Atom from the calling process it needs to be started with {{{-w}}} option -- otherwise the xpra_wrapper would return immediately after initiating Atom and the xpra server shuts down.
