RDP screen disappears after login

[whbean]

I have been using xrdp successfully for some 6 months now. In the last few days when I connect, I enter a username and password and after a few seconds the screen disappears.
I am connecting from the latest version of the BitVise Tunnelier (8.23). I am using version 0.9.8 of xrdp and Centos 7.
My xrdp log is:

And the xrdp-sesman.log is:

If I try again I see the following on the screen and the window does not close.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi,

FYI: #765 [ see the last comment of hzhu212 ]

Now XRDP able to find the windows manager.
