Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-1196:
------------------------------------------
[~mbo77]: It's a bit more nuanced than that...the next step would be to add
support for the function in the VNC protocol support; however, it's going to
have to be something that we detect the capability (presence of that particular
function) within the library and enable or disable at compile time, so that we
don't break compatibility with older versions of the library.
As far as including the newer client - unless you're talking about Docker
images, we don't include the dependencies at all, that's up to the admin to
install. For Docker containers, yes, we'd likely try to find a way to include
the newer version of the VNC client library.

> I'm running a TigerVNC session on the server where Guacamole is installed. If
> I connect with the TigerVNC viewer there is this nice feature that the remote
> desktop is automatically resized if the viewer window is resized, like this
> if offered with RDP already.
> Is there a configuration how to achieve this with a Guacamole session as well
> for my VNC connection?

> Historically, this could not be done without corresponding support within
> libvncclient. This should now be possible through handling the required
> message type ({{SetDesktopSize}}):

> Unfortunately my team had to come up with a home baked solution for this
> about 2 years ago. But it involved hacking up libvnc.
> BUT, I think it is feasible to submit a feature request for it because now
> libvnc recently tagged a new version that includes the message type that
> guacamole needs to do this:
> Tag: https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/releases/tag/LibVNCServer-0.9.13
