Hi Mike,
Some feedback. I managed to get this working on an Xubuntu VM. I have
made a basic gist detailing the installation instructions:

Yups, some applications aren't happy. For example, the XFCE toolbar
doesn't render, some windows are missing borders etc. The login screen
didn't show, so I had to force an automatic login for a user.
However, the performance is very impressive. Just like being on a local
machine!
This will be amazing once it has been completed and merged. To get rid
of XRDP from our machines would be great.
Do you have a rough estimate when you think this work might be completed?
Thank you for this great work!
Cheers,
Jamie
