1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04

2) apt-cache policy xrdp
xrdp:
  Installed: 0.6.0-1
  Candidate: 0.6.0-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.6.0-1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen is when one installs xrdp and attempts to use Remmina Remote Desktop Client to remote in, it works.

4) What happens instead is it shows a gray static screen. This would appear an issue with gnome-session as per:

The following is not a WORKAROUND, create /etc/xorg.conf :
