I tested the "fix" from Fabien Tivolle and it seems to work well !
But now, it should go a fix into the package xrdp, but i think there must be a change in one of the config-files in /etc/xrdp itself (for example the xsession.sh) !

My idea is to put it into the /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
Simply add the line from Fabien to the skript and write the output to the home directory:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
  . /etc/default/locale
  export LANG LANGUAGE
fi

echo "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" > ~/.xsession
. /etc/X11/Xsession

And it should work. Everytime you login to the remote-session the file .xsession will be created.

But there are thinks which are missing. For example there is no memenu and no shutdown menu!
The theme ambiance and radiance isn't completely displayed and last but not leastnot all icons are visible in the dash.

In my opinion the best solution is to work with a lxde or xfce desktop instead.
