advertise screen sharing via rdp on Ubuntu 22.04 and I hoped to be able
to use it.

Unfortunately on multiple machines i was not able to get it working and
it seems for various reasons. On the other hand i couldn't find proper
bug reports yet.

There are quite a few stackexhange questons out there related to 22.04 remote 
desktop sharing such as

I'd expect that the remote desktop sharing works out of the box and needs no 
further configuration and fiddling. Especially it should work if already logged 
in. There seem to be so many parts involved in this that 
there is IMHO a need to have a look at this from an overarching enduser 
viewpoint instead of assuming that users have to take a sysadmin course to use 
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS remote desktop sharing. After all this is version 22 of the 
system and not trying to implement bug #1 of Ubuntu.


Let's start with the machine where i think things are getting close to working 
and the message in /var/log/syslog is:
```

```

And i get a black screen in the rdp client on my mac os machine from
which i try to connect with Microsoft Remote Desktop
