enable-wallpaper for RDP working 0.9.9?
Hi
Is RDP parameter 'enable-wallpaper' working in 0.9.9, or should it be in
0.9.10?
Also, it should work from no-auth extension?
I cant get it going on Windows Server 2008 R2 server and Ubuntu 16.04 host.
Thanks

It worked with official 0.9.9 thanks. A combination of RDP group policy
changes, and a reboot of Windows server.

Haven't tried without enable-theming.

That parameter was added in 0.9.9, but depending on the version of FreeRDP
installed, there was a bug in Guacamole that prevented it from having any
effect:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-35
That bug should be fixed on git. It was discovered and fixed while testing
the screen sharing changes, which are part of the scope of next release
(which would be 0.9.10-incubating).

It is also possible for group policy settings in Windows Server to prevent
these flags from having any effect:

I suggest giving that a quick check first, unless you've already verified
that no such group policy is set, or that enabling wallpaper works with
other RDP clients.
