I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop on an old laptop of mine and I wanted to set it up so I could remote into it from my windows desktop. I've installed XRDP, but when I attempt to login using sesman-x11rdp it logs in, then the window shuts down.

I've checked over the logs and here is what I get at the time of login:

Can anyone point me to the proper way to get this working with x11rdp?
