No, this is not implemented.

JIRA tickets get closed when features are implemented, so the fact
that this issue is open is a good indicator that the support is
absent. The JIRA instance you point to in this case is the JIRA
instance that the project used prior to moving to the Apache
Incubator, so it's possible that issues which have been addressed
upstream are not up-to-date there, but if a search of the Apache JIRA
reveals no such issues, and the issue in the old JIRA is still open,
it's probably safe to say it has not been addressed. Changes simply
aren't made to Guacamole without a corresponding issue in JIRA.

Regarding the code you refer to, the problem there is that the author
of those patches did not give permission to include his modifications
(they were provided back when the project was MIT-licensed), did not
specify the license under which his modifications released, and did
not respond to requests for permission to build off those
modifications. All that, plus the poor quality of that particular
piece of code, means that potential contribution is likely a
non-starter. It'd be nice if we could get his permission and would
work with him to address the quality issues ... but there's
unfortunately nothing we can do with those patches without his
cooperation.

Adding support for RemoteFX is possible, but we will have to start
from scratch, ignoring those patches.

Yes, since 0.9.10-incubating:
