Binary package hint: xrdp

Using xrdp on a default Xubuntu 8.04 works flawlessly.

Using xrdp on a default Ubuntu 8.04 installation messes up the keyboard after logging in to the remote desktop. To reproduce:

On a test server, using a default Ubuntu installation:
  user@testserver:~$ sudo apt-get install xrdp tightvncserver
  user@testserver:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp start

On an other computer:
  user@client:~$ rdesktop testserver

The xrdp login screen xrdp works as expected. After I log in, I open an editor and I start to type:

qwertyuiop[] becomes on the screen: c.gvnmlzxyu
asdfghjkl;' becomes on the screen: abfhjk;'`io
zxcvbnm,. becomes on the screen: */d,s\[]
/ is the enter key
5 is the backspace key

This makes the keyboard totally unusable.

I have attached the contents of ~/.xsession-errors after logging in to this bug report.
Line 34 seems to indicate metacity as the possible culprit:
  Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.
