It would likely be possible, but I'd be curious what some of the other developers think about the feasibility and desirability of this feature. Also, I'm not sure how worthwhile it is to actually add this to Guacamole - if you're going to have the screens shared with WebRTC, anyway, why not just go WebRTC natively across the entire link - why use Guacamole at all?
However, on a different note, I did some further research on this, and, while it is true that the FreeRDP project has decided not to support the shadow option connecting natively to Windows, there does seem to be a FreeRDP shadow server that could be installed that might do the trick? I haven't done anything with it, but it appears that it likely uses the RDP protocol to do what VNC does - mirror the current display and allow for a native (non-RPC/SMB) connection to the mirrored display. You might look into that - while it would be another piece of software to deploy, I would imagine the deployment is pretty simple (copy executable to remote system, create a service, start it - something like that) and probably would give you the functionality you're looking for with Guacamole. -Nick >
