Thanks! What worked for me was first of all upgrade wsl2 Debian to bullseye and adding the following between line 12-13:

# install dbus
sudo apt-get install dbus-x11
sudo service dbus start
# because while starting xrdp I got the error 'Failed to execute child process 'dbus-launch'':
# export the correct DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID
export $(dbus-launch)
