Oh, and this is actually a TS bug, not a Citrix bug :)  if you take away
citrix and just run the app through TS, the same thing happens

Subject: [THIN] Java Application UI Painting Problem with Citrix


Good afternoon,
My team is currently specifying the infrastructure for a thin client
deployment and we ran into some unexpected behaviour when performing our
Citrix testing.  We're having trouble accepting that this is normal
behaviour for Citrix.

Problem:
We encountered unacceptable UI painting issues with our Java applications.
When scrolling tables, the right half of the table would smear and require a
minimize/restore operation to fix (i.e., force a repaint of the window).
Additionally, when moving a window around the desktop, the window would
"bounce" into place as if there were some sort of elasticity to the
movement.  The application bouncing problem is present for all apps, not
just the Java ones.

Software:
   * Server - Windows 2003 Enterprise with MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0
   * Clients - Windows XP, Windows XPe with native ICA client, version 8.0
   * Published items - Full desktop that ran a batch script upon user login.
The batch script launched two Java apps, IE, and two X-apps.  The batch
script was used to facilitate testing and will not be used in production.
The Java applications are using Sun JRE 1.5.0, the Swing toolkit, and are
being launched via JavaWebStart.

Hardware:
   * Server - HP BL20 blades under no appreciable load (<10% CPU util, < 20%
memory util)
   * Clients - mix of current HP desktops and thin clients; the problem is
present on all clients

Does anyone have any ideas of what the problem is?  I get the sense that
we're missing some obvious configuration point because straight Terminal
Server performance on the same hardware was very good.

Thanks,
Stephen
