+ assuming that guacd is at version 1.1.0 or
+ greater, this will be passed to the server
+ and used by protocols, like RDP, that
+ support it. This parameter can be used to
+ override the value detected and passed
+ during the handshake, or can be used in
+ situations where guacd does not support
+ passing the timezone parameter during the
+ handshake phase (guacd versions prior to
+ 1.1.0).</para>
+ <para>Support for forwarding the client
+ timezone varies by RDP server
implementation.
+ For example, with Windows, support for
+ forwarding timezones is only present in
+ Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services
+ (RDS, formerly known as Terminal Services)
+ installed. Windows Server installations in
+ admin mode, along with Windows workstation
+ versions, do not allow the timezone to be
+ forwarded. Other server implementations,
+ for example, xRDP, may not implement this
