Enable Remote Desktop in Elementary OS

In order to enable remote desktop to a host running Elementary OS, you need to perform the following steps


  1. Install xrdp
    sudo aptitude install xrdp
  2. Direct xrdp to use pantheon session manager
    echo gnome-session --session=pantheon > ~/.xsession
Now you should be able to login from any host to your Elementary desktop, using a client such as rdesktop

    Sadly this doesnt work with Freya... if I install Xfce4 and run echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession this runs an xfce4 session perfectly. Am I missing something...?
