Yep, Citrix is real touchy about the Novell client version used. I
use contextless logins on the WI though and it works great. I don't
really have any issues other than the roaming profiles not cleaning
up. I am just sick of having to spend hours/days/months getting it to
work properly. I am giving up on Novell. Next year I want to dump it
and Groupwise for MS, AD and Exchange.
