Using virtual VNC Xserver over guacamole

Installation

1. Install sudo apt-get install xfce4-session xfce4-goodies xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server
2. The files /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini and /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini may have to edited as in this gist, but it may work also with default configs
3. For reconnections (in guacamole) to existing session to work, the resolution in guacamole for the connection should be fixed (e.g. to 1280x900 in the connection settings)
4. Each user who wants to use it, should have the files ~/.xsession and ~/.vnc/xstartup with the defaults in this gist in their home directory

    // the caller of this function used with the php run-time,

    // them in the tinker shell and preserve their names.
