I've spent some time trying to find a good solution and have come up empty so far. The biggest challenge with regard to how Guacamole handles this is that RemoteApp support tends to assume that the local (client) window manager controls will be hidden and the remote (server) controls will be used to handle sizing and control of the actual application window. In a browser-based world, this isn't necessarily as straight-forward as it is in a more traditional RDP client -> RDP server world. There still seems to be some level of signaling between the RDP client and server, since minimizing a RemoteApp does result in the local window manager recognizing it as minimized, and clicking on it on the local taskbar restores it correctly. All that said, it seems like there probably is a way to handle it, but it's a matter of coming up with a good way in Guacamole to accomplish that signaling between the browser and the remote application, via guacd. Possible, but not necessarily easy. -Nick
