For one single, solitary, glorious moment I thought you were
responding to my problems with it.....

Yes, there is a Linux ICA client, go to http://www.citrix.com and
you'll easily find it.

There are a few problems: firstly it allows you to configure "hotkey"
alternatives for things like ALT-F4, but not for CTRL-ESC and ALT-TAB
both of which are used by both KDE (for example) and NT.

More problematically, sometimes (not always), when I switch desktops
the ICA client insists on behaving as if I have the ALT key
permanently depressed. Switch desktops a few times will sometimes get
rid of this but not always. (This was the problem I raised).
