The key phrase in the manual here is "system property". This is not a
property set in guacamole.properties (that would indeed be nuts), but a
very specific Java concept.

System properties are the things that you set through passing -D options to
the JVM.

The properties you set within guacamole.properties aren't system
properties. They're just general configuration options read by Guacamole
and any installed extensions.

Reading the  documentation

guacamole-home>
I noticed one funny thing:

Passage 1:
*When locating this directory, Guacamole will try the directory specified
within the system property guacamole.home*

Passage 2:
*Guacamole uses GUACAMOLE_HOME as the primary search location for
configuration file like guacamole.properties.*

GUACAMOLE_HOME defines guacamole.properties and guacamole.home property
within guacamole.properties defines GUACAMOLE_HOME. Some type of recursion
here!
Which comes first the chicken or the egg? :)
