That's because most or all of these bugs are VNC-related issues. The new xrdp 
version discourages the use of VNC as backend to the local X server as we now 
have xorgxrdp.

Some of them might still exist when using VNC, but they are in fact issues 
with VNC and not specific to xrdp. I can understand that people who used xrdp 
i nearlier versions related them to xrdp because xrdp did the VNC stuff 
silently. I think they should be closed now because xrdp, used in the 
encouraged and default way, does not show them anymore. Another way would be 
to reassign them to some vnc server package, but I think that we should 
neither put too much time in wrangling VNC bugs to find out which bugs are 
still valid, nor should we just reassign them to other packages without 
verifying they are still relevant.

xrdp, as a remote desktop solution, does not show these bugs anymore, unless 
actively forced to use VNC perhaps, and if people do so, then they do it 
actively and know that they are just testing VNC. They should just file a bug 
against the VNC server they use for any bug that is still relevant to VNC.

Cheers,
Nik
