Hi James,

This is probably not very helpful, but I am running
a 0.6.0 XRDP server on a Fedora Core 20 workstations.
No problems at all.

Here are my notes on what I did to set it up.  Maybe
you missed something?  SL6.x does not use "systemctl"
yet.  So, the old fashioned init.d way.

Fedora 19: how to configure "xrdp":

Reference: 
http://www.scottalanmiller.com/linux/2013/08/18/installing-xrdp-on-fedora-19/

Installing XRDP on Fedora 19


1) install xrdp:
    # yum install xrdp


2) change the default port:

    # vi /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

Modify "Port" under the "[Global]" section


3) add the service descriptions to the systemd system and set them to start.

# systemctl enable xrdp.service
# systemctl start xrdp.service
# systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service
# systemctl start xrdp-sesman.service
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3389/tcp  -->Or whatever port you 
changed it to<--
# systemctl restart firewalld


4) test to see if your ports are open:

# nmap -Pn -p T:5022 192.168.255.114
...
PORT     STATE SERVICE
5022/tcp open  unknown


5) if you goof the firewall rule or the port

     Remove the bad firewall rule with:
       # firewall-cmd --remove-port=5022/tcp  -->Or whatever port<--

     edit /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and modify the "Port"

     To restart everything and make the new setting take:

         # systemctl restart firewalld
         # systemctl restart xrdp.service
         # systemctl restart xrdp-sesman.service
