Hi Bill,
The synopsis:
If you want to, remotely use WSJT-X with an RDP client
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS doesn't work because of the XRDP implementation.
Fedora 20 x86_64 works fine.
Fedora 21 ARM on headless Banana Pi works fine
So, for the "system builders" out there, putting remote Linux boxes in remote
sites, use Fedora 20 or 21,
not Ubuntu LTS, at this point of time.
