The client I initially downloaded was 6.x (2002) from the site I needed. I 
subsequently downloaded 8.0 for both Linux and for Windows.
On Windows, I log in through the challenge page, the client login page and I 
am presented with 2 applications:
Putty (using exceed on the Citrix server) and Putty(direct, no X). 
On Linux going through the firewall here, I get a message that the SSL 
server is not accepting connections (this is a Citrix SSL server at my 
Partner site not here). 

On Windows (XP or 2000) and Linux at home, when I click on Putty, it paints 
the terminal window with a Linux login on our partner's network. Once I 
enter my user name, I get the password prompt. At this point, the terminal 
window tends to rapidly go in and out of focus. This happens all the time 
with the exceed/putty. The non-exceed putty is a bit more stable, but while 
I was composing this email, I went to check the W2K system and the window 
is back to the rapid flash mode. We brought up the task manager, and found 
it was taking up a lot of CPU (the system is an ancient Compaq Deskpro I 
installed to see if the problem also exists on 2K). I think I only have the 
Citrix Web client installed on the W2K box. So, the focus problem exists on 
both Linux (2.6 kernel, KDE) using the full Citrix client software with the 
plugin for Firefox not going through a firewall, and for Windows XP (using 
the full client both 6.0 and 8.0) and Windows 2K on the corporate firewall 
and proxy servers, and one of our partner XPs in the porting center that 
does not need a proxy server on our department firewall.
