I've done some more troubleshooting and it looks like it's related to
systemd. Logging on with xrdp does not seem to register with systemd, if I
run "loginctl list-sessions" there are no sessions.
If I logon with SSH there is a session created and Network Manager works in
any xrdp session started after the SSH session.
Unfortunately I'm not getting any further, I've fiddled around with PAM
files to try to fix this but have failed so far. There's been a lot of
trial and error with dbus, polkit, PAM, systemd and xrdp settings and I'm
pretty much lost.
Unless someone with more knowledge than me can point me in the right
direction I'm giving up, if anyone else have the same problem I have a
simple workaround, just log in with SSH before connecting to xrdp and
Network Manager will work.
Cheers,
Daniel
