I get the same error on F15, but it's intermittent. If I click the OK button and sign in again, it will let me in.

If that doesn't work for you, try restarting the xrdp service, and if that doesn't work, reboot the box.

now i can login on to the system but getting the black screen

I was having the same error in RHEL 6: [ERROR] another Xserver is already active on display... .

I was able to get xrdp to work by installing gnome packages. I do not have my initial list of gnome packages adding these got xrdp working:

Added packages:

gnome-desktop
gnome-session-xsession
gnome-applets
gnome-menus
(NOTE - many other packages were installed as dependencies. It is very possible that it was installation of one of the dependencies actually fixed this problem.)

Final list of gnome packages I have installed are:

gnome-applets
gnome-desktop
gnome-doc-utils-stylesheets
gnome-icon-theme
gnome-keyring
gnome-menus.
gnome-panel
gnome-panel-libs
gnome-python2
gnome-python2-applet
gnome-python2-bonobo
gnome-python2-canvas
gnome-python2-desktop
gnome-python2-extras
gnome-python2-gnome
gnome-python2-gnomevfs
gnome-python2-libegg
gnome-session
gnome-session-xsession
gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-terminal
gnome-themes
gnome-user-docs
gnome-vfs2

I could not find any relationship of the xrdp error message to this fix. I made a guess that the error message may actually be a misrepresentation of the real error. This is why I tried installing additional gnome packages. Hope this helps someone else get by this problem.
