Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-288:
-----------------------------------------
[~kelderek]: Thanks for the suggestions. Here are my thoughts...
{quote}
1) Create a browser plugin that integrates with guacamole...
{quote}
I'd be pretty firmly opposed to this - the entire browser community has spent
the past 10 years trying to rid itself of plugins (NPAPI and PPAPI, Java,
Flash, ActiveX...), and I don't know that, first, there's a framework left to
support it, and second, that it would be worth the time investment. Beyond
that, I think it runs counter to the goal of Guacamole in general, which is to
provide a clientless, HTML5-compatible Remote Desktop Client.

2) The idea that I think has more promise would be to have a button in the main
guacamole interface labeled something like "add virtual monitor" that opens a
new browser window.
{quote}
I'd be more in favor of this route, or some variation of it. In addition to the
possibility you mention, of opening the Guacamole "virtual monitors" from the
main interface, the other option I can think of is to have a Connection
Attribute that configures the number of virtual monitors and then allows them
to open at connection time. The only issue I can see with this (that your
suggestion resolves) is that I don't know how it would handle the per-(virtual)
monitor resolution update if you dragged the window to another screen.
As you mention, none of this offers a particularly seamless experience, but I
also do not think that the browser APIs really have any mechanism for making
this seamless at the moment. So, if it's going to be included at all, it's
going to be a bit rough.
> Add support for multi-monitor connections

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-288
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: guacamole-client, guacamole-server
> Reporter: Slava
> Priority: Minor
>
> Hello,
> I'm wondering if multi monitor support for RDP (and maybe even VNC?) is on
> Guacamole's roadmap? Currently, when we RDP to a workstation with multiple
> displays, we only see the primary display. Can't find any options in the
> connection settings to configure multiple monitors.
> I've found a ticket on the old Jira where a developer suggested it may be a
> trivial fix that involves adding a few flags and then the ticket went quite
> in 2015...so just wondering if this feature is in fact being added and if
> there is any ETA for it?
> Thank you
