XRDP does not use existing sessions for same user

[Andrew]

This problem has been identified as a bug previously @ debian.org in version 0.5 but never incorporated into 0.6.

Basically every time you connect to the same machine it creates a new session and does not reuse the existing session, so you can have as many as 10+ sessions for the same user active and you have to close firefox for example in the old session and restart in the new session.

here are the links from Debian.

i've confirmed that this patch is not in 0.6.0 source on sourceforge.

Would be great if we could get this patch applied and a new deb package issued. I'm having this problem and seems like a lot of requests for this fix on sourceforge discussion forum for xrdp

post -> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573258

sesman\session.c patch -> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=reuse-session-fix.diff;att=1;bug=573258

Thanks!

Actually just checked and that reuse-session patch in included in 0.6.0.1 however, sessions are still not being reused and each new connection starts a new session using same bbp and resolution.

Help!

I am getting this same problem using Linux Mint 15 MATE. Each XRDP connection starts new session.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm getting the same problem, and it is even more problematic since KillDisconnected and DisconnectedTimeLimit are not implemented... After a while I'm not able to login anymore, since the maximum number of session is exceeded, as stated in xrdp-sesman.log
