Hi @holidayz1,
Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce the problem with clean installation.
However, if you using GNOME (gdm3) or latest version of xrdp, the ubuntu/19.04/install.sh be better, as you said.

if you're using GNOME shell (gdm3), need to set "WaylandEnable=false" at /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, because the xrdp will use Xorg.
other changes are in the way the VSOCK settings are written.

If you know of a way to improve the code in the kali version, please send us a pull request, thanks. :)
