If this achieves that goal for you and works, then that's great, and if you're willing to share links for the code, there may be others who would be interested in using it, contributing to it, etc. That said, while I understand the benefit of what you're trying to achieve, I'm not sure there would be support for making that part of the mainstream Guacamole project, as one of the project's stated goals is to be clientless, with the exception of a web browser. Implementing an Electron-based client goes beyond that and introduces some additional complexity with respect to client updates and additional software required to support it. -Nick
