Hey Jörn, What we did is follow your instructions on the website for setting a dev environment. We then installed and packaged the Citrix Receiver 12.0 for Linux. Once packaged, we could go to our web interface and launch the XenDesktop from Citrix. Nothing special there, but to get the USB redirection was more fun. We ended up creating a command line applications that runs the following:
sudo bash -c "echo export ICAROOT=/opt/ica-client-12 >> /etc/environment"; sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.4; sudo ln -s /opt/ica-client-12/npica.so /etc/firefox-3/plugins/; sudo mv /var/tcos/custom/85-ica-usb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/10-ica-usb.rules; sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart; sudo /opt/ica-client-12/ctxusbdgo start; sudo /opt/firefox-3/tcos/launcher 636E3D46697265666F782033205765622042726F777365722C6F753D617070732C6F753D6F70656E7468696E636C69656E742C64633D6F70656E7468696E636C69656E742C64633D6F7267 I'm guessing most of this could be trimmed out but I'll try to step through it the best I can. 1. Add ICAROOT to environment path 2. Register libXm 3. Copy the npica plugin into the firefox plug-in folders 4. I uploaded a custom udev ruleset into the tcos/custom folder then I move it over to ica-usb rules. This was a must to get webcam redirection working. 5. Once rules were uploaded, restart udev to pick them up. 6. Call the ctxusbdgo app to start to accept usb redirection 7. The last call is specific to our environment. We call firefox where we include a proxy.pac file to restrict to specific websites and set the home location to the citrix web interface we are using, so that long string is just the starting parameter. Hopefully this helps you out from a perspective of how we got USB redirection working. The multi-monitor is another fun part. We have gotten our cards to work with OTC and see both monitors. We can also run the hdxcheck util that is included with ICA-12 and it says we are multi-mon supported. The big thing is this span option. We have tried adding the export WFICA_OPTS="-span o" to this pre-run script with no success. I'm doing more reading and from what I can tell, it may be required to use windowed mode instead of seamless in order to get it to work, but I'm not sure at this point. If there is anything else I can help with please let me know.

But i had not enough time and got stuck. So it would be nice to participate in your experience. Could you please release your package somehow? I also tried the dual screen feature. So far with no result. :-( But i would like to invest some more time. The package "Citrix-Reciever 12.1" is nearly done. Once we have USB-Redirection and dual screen working, it could be the right moment to give it to the public.
