Normally this gets logged to the standard syslog infrastructure, so it may be in /var/log/messages or journalctl or something like that. You can also start guacd in the foreground (-f) and enable debugging (-L debug) and that should give you some more verbose output, and you can watch it when you terminate the VNC session and see if anything interesting gets logged there. I suspect that it's something with guacd + libVNCServer that is causing the issue, and that it's between guacd and VNC, and not between the Guacamole client and guacd.
You can also try upgrading or downgrading libVNCServer on the system hosting guacd and see if that makes any difference. What platform/version are you running Guacamole on, and what version of Guacamole (sorry if you already posted that, I'm just not seeing it at the moment)? > "What if you use the Ctrl-Alt-Shift hot-key to get to the hidden menu and > use the "Disconnect" option?

I think adding some sort of connection bar has been discussed in the past, and never gained much support. However, much of this discussion is moot if we go back to finding the root cause for the original problem, and get those VNC sessions to terminate properly :-). -Nick
