I think this bug is fixed. on a clean 8.10 install ive had no problems.

to clarify how i got things working.

1. apt-get install xrdp. it has a dependency on vnc4server and installs that automatically.

2.System->perferences->remote desktop

3. tick allow others to view your desktop. (you can change any of the other options here if you wish).click ok

4.connect to the machine from your favourite rdp client.

5.click the drop down box. select vnc-any. enter 127.0.0.1 as the ip. and a password if u set 1 in step 3

6.click ok and your desktop on the remote machine should appear
