SageMath and xrdp - Environment Variable error

[Tyler Spilker]

When launching QTerminal in an xrdp session in Lubuntu, running 'sage' gives the following error

/bin/sage: line 242: /bin/sage-env: No such file or directory

Error setting environment variables by sourcing '/bin/sage-env';

possibly contact sage-devel (see http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel).

When launching Sage 9.0 from an ssh session things work perfectly and I get the command line notebook interface

I have managed to get it working by putting a symbolic link to /usr/share/sagemath/bin/sage-env to /bin/sage-env

It looks like the environment variables aren't picked up correctly for the xrdp session and I don't understand their relationship well enough to figure it out
