Almost completely unsupported in VNC - there are a few servers that support
it, but it isn't part of the standard, and Guacamole does not support it as
a client.

To be fair, xrdp does not support dynamic resizing, either, so there's that
- however, it will at least dynamically size the browser window initially.

Can be supported with VNC and PulseAudio, but it's a bit tricky to get it
to work.

Should work natively with any RDP server, including xrdp, though audio is
not central to the way I use xrdp, so I don't know that I've actually tried
that.

Honestly I don't stray far from US-10X QWERTY layouts, so I can't help
much, here. I would imagine that you'll need to configure it within the
window manager in your Linux sessions, and that it may not work passing
through RDP, but I'm not certain on that.

I just do:
firewall-cmd --add-port=3389/tcp
firewall-cmd --add-port=3389/tcp --permanent

And that does the trick. You might check on special zones or something like
that on your install - it'll depend on the Linux distribution and version
you're using, if firewalld is being used to manage it, etc.
