build an image following the how-to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinstation/files/thinstation/thinstation-5/.

In the image you need to include the citrix receiver and possibly
Firefox and flash and a windowing environment if you are using a web
portal to access your applications (which is the default for xenapp
nowadays.).

You need to download the receiver and place it in the place defined in
build.urls, right now for me it' s

param icaurl            file://downloads/linuxx86_12.1.0.203066.tar.gz

en that is the relative path to the file in the chroot.

If you use a web portal, you need to copy the citrix plugin to the
right folder before building the image:

cp packages/ica/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/npica.so
packages/flash/lib/firefox/browser/plugins/npica.so

So when you start firefox, you type about:plugins in the address bar
you must see the citrix plugin there.

Then you need to autostart the windowing environment and Firefox to go
to your portal url and it should work.

If you need multimonitor support, you need to add an environment
variable as explained here:
http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/receiver-linux-12-1/linux-troubleshooting-known-issues-display.html

We have solved that editing packages/base/etc/profile with this addition:

export WFICA_OPTS="span a"

The rest are local customizations to your environment.

If you have more specific questions, you need to post them.
