Previously the .xsession file was just 'startxfce4'.

But adding the '#! /bin/sh' line and restarting xrdp did not change the
behavior: It's still a black screen with one xterm, and no xfce4 desktop
or copy/paste support.

Of course startxfce4 will run manually from the xterm but along with
copy/paste, those are the problems I'm looking to solve.

Thanks.
