Hi Alberts,

Good work! I was also able to connect and logout multiple times after restarting xrdp (sudo service xrdp restart).
All the processes end properly and the rdp window closes.

Now if we can just figure out what is different after restarting xrdp
compared to how it is after system boot...

Title:
  gnome flashback session fails to end on logout in Trusty

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On logout, the window changes to a blank purple screen and never closes.
  All the processes are still running.

  This is a big problem because in Trusty, Unity needs hardware acceleration, so you cannot use Unity in any remote access scenario (like using windows remote desktop to access a VMware vSphere Ubuntu Trusty vm with xrdp) where hardware acceleration is not available.
  Many people are trying to use alternative desktops, like gnome-flashback or xfce (xfce seems to have too many downsides in this situation for me).

  This is a follow on from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281 where gnome-session-flashback was modified to accept a new flag (--disable-acceleration-check) so that a gnome flashback session could be started.
  Thanks to the patch for 1251281 we can now run gnome flashback but it doesn't logout properly, which makes it unusable.

  Environment:
  Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (up to date)
  gnome-session-flashback 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.2
  gnome-session 3.9.90-0ubuntu12.1

  ~/.xsession :
   gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback --disable-acceleration-check

  Using Windows 7 Remote Desktop to connect to Ubuntu vm.
  Login to xrdp using module sesman-Xvnc

   I have attached the ~/.xsession-errors file.
