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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/846407 Title: Empty desktop on 11.10 beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xrdp/+bug/846407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
