Ubuntu – The screen is grey blank when connecting ubuntu through Windows’s remote desktop

remote desktopxrdp

I installed the xrdp on the ubuntu 14.04 desktop and I followed instructions in Blank desktop when logging in via xrdp, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1899111&page=2 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xrdp/+bug/1069272, but after I successfully log in from Windows 7 remote desktop, the screen is:

enter image description here

Any idea? Thanks a lot.

PS: Let's restrict the question to Windows's remote desktop + xrdp on the ubuntu 14.04.

It is a bug of xrdp when using it to connect to ubuntu 14.04. See here. The only thing we can do about it now is to wait until xrdp developers show some mercy by starting to think of fixing this bug. Please help me by clicking "this bug affects you" and "subscribe this bug" link of the above launchpad page to increase the bug heat. Thanks.
