Records the full chain that got RDP working end-to-end on XFCE (auth/xrdp,
session, compositing, scaling, ping echo, input, 1080p — PRs #41-48), and adds
a desktop-environment support matrix plus researched paths to make GNOME and KDE
work too.
Key findings (VM-verified, not theory):
- XFCE over xrdp works today with guacd's FreeRDP 2.
- GNOME 50 is Wayland-only (no Xorg session for xrdp) AND gnome-remote-desktop
mandates NLA that FreeRDP 2 can't do — blocked both ways. The real unlock is a
custom guacd image built against FreeRDP 3; GNOME headless "system" RDP (GDM
handover, GNOME 46+) then becomes viable.
- KDE Plasma 6 should work like XFCE via xrdp + startplasma-x11 (X11 session
supported through ~early 2027); KRdp is the Wayland-native future path.
Includes a suggested order of work for the next agent.
