Thanks for the reply Mike. VNC especially isn't disconnecting for instance when a remote machine is rebooted, or the connection is disrupted. I can connect with realvnc, but guac's VNC will just sit there showing the last image indefinitely. This is happening on a few remote hosts, running tightvnc (on windows) and realvnc (bundled with raspberry pi). Maybe something in the connection monitoring on VNC isn't working properly?
Going to settings to kill a session is a number of clicks to do something that you are only wanting to do because of a stuck session. Lets say I have a VNC session in recent connections that is hung. I have to do menu>settings>select sission> kill sessions>menu>home>select connection. That's a little annoying as an admin, but when I try to get a user to do this they get lost quickly. It would be a vast improvement to simply have the session thumbnail have an x or disconnect icon.
