I have ssh and virtual console access. I don't think the VM part is relevant since xfce4 and copy-paste worked on the same VM prior to the upgrade from xrdp 0.6.x to 0.9.x (and again, the root problem here is my failure to back up configs before the upgrade). >If so look at > .xsession-errors in your home dir.

Sorry, but there's no .xsession-errors file in the home directory. >=20 > I use xdm with my .xsession as follows: >=20 > artemis:~> cat .xsession > #!/bin/sh > /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 >=20 > startxfce4 from the console login also works. I do not have any other > user defined files. Interesting. startxfce4 from the console login also works for me, but without copy/paste support. I'm going to try Iwao-san's suggestion about startwm.sh and will report back. dn
