Have supported several Citrix over Satelite situations in the recent
past.  Latency is the big issue as has been stated.  We had it for
ships in the Gulf of Mexico where the satelite was a segment of our
WAN, and satelite Internet connections for remote offices in Mexico
and the western US.

If I remember correctly we lengthened the TCP/IP timeout setting, and
increased MTU size on each Citrix server. (Ring any bells with you
gurus out there?)  Also, on the Satelite WAN segment we used Packeteer
for prioritizing traffic.  Also ran, VOIP and fax over the same line,
plus a webcam to show off our cool boat : )

We did have usable if occassionally patchy connectivity.  It think it
can be fine if you set the proper expectations.  In the cases above
there was really no other good connectivity option (dial up land line
in the remote areas, and cellular service in parts of the Gulf.)
