The so-called "Citrix Receiver" ? I've tried it using both Wine and Linux 
emulation. The Linux version was a huge pain. It segfaulted, whined about 
SSL / x509 certificates (so tired of seeing this lately in apps), and had 
the usual way-too-many-dependencies on a zillion worthless GUI libraries 
and abstraction layers. Honestly, the Wine version looked like it was 
going to work up until the last moment when ... it didn't. With Windows 
apps you can't do much but just shrug when they fail.

It seems like the previous ICA client didn't have nearly as much kruft and 
actually worked. I know I've used it at some point on NetBSD. Of course, 
that version is probably no longer around. It's too bad, though. IIRC, you 
could often use older clients with newer Citrix servers.
