I am getting the same problem.  I had been using 11.04 Desktop amd64
with xrdp as well as 11.04 Xubuntu amd64 with vino.  I was logging in
from a WindowsXP machine using Windows Remote Desktop viewer, with no
problems.  With 11.10 Desktop amd64 and xrdp, I also get wallpaper and
no window manager, just menubar.  I cannot resize or move windows, the
only way to close them is to use the close/quit option in the menu.

As a temporary workaround, I was able to ssh to my machine, and create
launchers for Firefox, Gnome-Terminal, etc in the Desktop folder,
although one could create a new document from the right click menu, then
make in executable in "permissions"

It is similar to Using Alt+Tab to switch to the Desktop - you are stuck
on the desktop with the launcher invisible until you mouse over it,
until you Alt+Tab back.  If you simply minimize the application, and see
the desktop that way, you see the launcher regardless of your mouse
position.
