I have experienced the same bug: root login worked fine non-root login displayed a green screen, then timed out.
I am using Debian 9, XRDP, XORGXRDP and LXQT as the desktop. Using the information posted by Richard Kettlewell, I had a look at the Xwrapper.config file. I found that changing the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config to allowed_users=anybody needs_root_rights=yes allowed the non-root users to login. I am not a Debian developer and this 'fix' looks like it might be a security risk though.
