due to licensing issues we decided to drop the ica client package for now. it 
will be readded if citrix approves our request.

right now there are two hardcoded user/passwords:

- root/foobar
- tcos/tcos

(the password for connecting to the thin client via VNC is foobar as well.)

furthermore you might find the hidden shortcut: <CTRL><SHIFT><ALT>x useful. it 
opens a xterm in a running gnome session.

but you ought to consider that the hardcoded user/passwords will vanish in 
future releases. in these releases you will be able to set them via the 
openthinclient manager.

hmm, i remember this bug but it should have been fixed in recent releases.

you can also change the default value "/pxelinux.0" to "pxelinux.0". that 
should do the trick as well. (this bug was related to not honoring default 
values)

cheers,
