Sorry, I misread the question.

I succesfully downloaded it from svn repository indicated by Jay, I successfully compiled it on RHEL 5 but using it in production... simply does not work. It made xrdp (0.5.0) crash *lots* of time (null pointers unhandled, etc.). Using Xvnc as graphical backend simply it works out of the box. Please, do not misunderstand me, most problems may be inside xrdp because is not so *mature* for X11rdp but at this moment Xvnc + xrdp is the only thing that works very well. I simply suggest to use Xvnc until X11rdp and xrdp will be production ready... > Depending on your level of competence the following might help in get > you going > > http://www.kernelcrash.com/blog/xrdp/2009/09/12/ > > It is my plan to maintain an x11rdp RPM and possibly a xrdp for > RHEL6/CentOS6 in the new year as we plan at work to go production with a > number of such servers that will be accessed using RDP. > > For the record, at work my desktop is an RDP session onto a CentOS 5.5 > box using xrdp with x11rdp for about a year now.

I tested xrdp (0.5.0)+X11rdp with Oracle forms 10g launched by LXE handhelds on CentOS 5.4. Connections were 100+ at same time and I got these problems: * slowness * different colors * xrdp crashes Xvnc simply worked for me.
