This would be perhaps the most helpful thing when narrowing down
whether this is a bug in Guacamole's handling of image data or in the
FreeRDP library.

The Guacamole protocol itself does not depend on byte order, as it's
ultimately just a stream of UTF-8 characters. The places could
conceivably be affected by byte order are:

1) Guacamole-specific image processing (testing other protocols would
confirm this)
2) FreeRDP's image processing (testing other protocols might confirm
this, too, as would testing FreeRDP's own native client)
3) libpng, Cairo, or similar image-related dependencies (unlikely, as
those library are all rather mature and have no doubt been used on PPC
in the past)

Off the top of my head, I don't believe Guacamole's image processing
makes any assumptions about byte order, but verifying that this
problem occurs regardless of whether RDP is used would demonstrate
that belief to be false.
