Description

I would like Guacamole to support x11vnc's -ncache option.

In my mind there are two possible ways to do this: either allowing users to crop out sections of the connection (they would still need to be persisted in the VNC client's memory, though this does save on network transmission to the Guacamole client); or allow users to scale the view by width rather than height. The latter would implicitly hide the ncache space off-screen if the width of the screen matches that of the other screen, though it wouldn't work very well if they aren't the same.
