Why not use Citrix to do both?
Publish the desktop via Citrix and run the custom app within the desktop
or not, the choice is yours. There is academic pricing too if you are a
college.
You don't have to invest in new clients, you can use any old desktop as
a thin client.

Subject: [THIN] Hybrid question?
Thin Gurus,
We want to move an application from being installed on all client
machines to a Citrix server. This really is not a problem.
Since we were looking to invest into Citrix, I decided it would be a
good idea to move toward using thin clients from Wyse.
Well, it looks like the high initial cost of Citrix is keeping us from
converting to the Holy Grail of thin computing.
Here is the question.......
Is there a way we can use Citrix to deploy our custom application to the
entire organization and use Microsoft Terminal services to deploy
desktops to thin clients at the same time on the same set of servers?
We know at any given time there are at most 60 users using the app that
would be on Citrix. When I was gathering prices, I had my Citrix
licenses needed at 250 to be able to handle not only this app but also
MS office and GroupWise.
Any thoughts on this hybrid option would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance,
