When trying to launch gnome-flashback (no effects) session from xrdp it fails with diagnostics in log:

>gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.

When starting manually gnome-panel, metacity, nautilus and other components from .xsession - it works normally.

Looks like - unnecessary check performed (and failed).
