Bug Description

What is expected to happen is that when one does a fresh install of Kubuntu 15.04, fully upgrades, installs xrdp, and then RDPs via Windows or Remmina, it presents a full desktop, like it did in Trusty and Utopic.

What happens instead is it presents one window, with a grey screen background as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vnc4/+bug/1437156/+attachment/4357577/+files/screenshot.png .

WORKAROUND: A partial workaround to this is use x11vnc. However, this implementation shares the local console, while vnc4server presents a separate console.
