Nope. Otherwise, it may just be a UltaVNC issue. Do you have a recommendation for > VNC servers? The manual has a summary of some VNC servers and their pros/cons: http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#vnc-servers If possible (e.g. on Windows clients), should we rather use RDP > or that VNC recommendation? > > If connecting to Windows *servers*, RDP would be better, but a browser running on Windows is no different to Guacamole than a browser running on Linux (or Android ... or iOS ... or OSX ... etc.). Further, the difference between the protocols exists only server-side. From the client's perspective, everything is just Guacamole protocol. The main difference between VNC and RDP in the case of the client is that RDP provides some performance features which VNC lacks, like bitmap caching, and Guacamole can leverage analogous features of its protocol to provide the same. To the Guacamole server, all clients are the same. To the Guacamole client, all protocols are the same. - Mike
