Paul, On three separate machines, I experience the same problem. All of them are "base" Stretch installs with xfce4 later installed via apt. Networking is managed by systemd's networking.service. But all three are also kvm hosts, and, as I mention in an earlier post for this bug, it appears that it is the kvm virtual networking configuration which takes place after the interfaces are up that is what's getting in the way of xrdp. I have not been able to find other posts that refer to this specific case: xrdp on a kvm box hosting multiple qemu VMs, but if you can point me to one I'd be grateful.
Yes, everything starts find once things settle down. That's what's so frustrating. I suppose I can just hack the service files to keep attempting restarts, but I think something is broken here and it would be nice to get to the bottom of it. Thanks, David
