ok.

So the problem is neither xrdp nor the X server.

Can you login to MATE with a local display manager with the same user?

I cannot reproduce the issue, neither on jessie nor on stretch (I actually do 
haev a jessie box with xrdp 0.9 from backports where, in this very moment, 16 
users are running active MATE sessions).

What you could do is attach x11vnc to the running X display at the point where 
you see the session processes and the RDP screen shows only black. Does it 
also only show a black screen?

Anything else special about this setup?

Do other Windows versions work? Lacking that, can you test both xfreerdp (from 
freerdp-x11) and rdesktop? I'd suspect the first to work and the latter to 
show the same effect. Can you reproduce that?

Well, did you install the relevant packages, like a VNC server?

Did you make sure to also recreate the old config files?


Another thing: What PAM modules do you have enabled in common-session? 
Anything non-default?

Cheers,
Nik
