I'm running Unity 2D as my default since my hardware doesn't support 3D. It works fine when I login directly on my workstation, but when coming in through xrdp it gives me the desktop wallpaper and the dropdown-menu bar at the top with "File Edit View Go Bookmarks Help" as the only options. I tried Fabien Tivolle's "fix" and it gives me the Unity 2d panel at the top, but without the button in the top right that gives the menu with "System Settings, Displays, ... Shutdown," etc. Pressing CTRL-ALT-T brings up a terminal window as usual, and executing "ps -ef | grep unity" in that window verifies that it really is unity-2d-panel that is running, but that's the only unity-2d program running. Trying to execute unity-2d-launcher in that window produces the following error: 'Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":10.0".
