OK, I finally managed to get the Apps issue cleared up using the Registry
fix, clearing the apps from the affected server, and the Correct server back
in its farm and running smoothly.. HOWEVER,now when I attempt to refresh the
PN, I get an error stating 

The Application Set "--OUR FARM NAME--" contains out of date information.
Please open the Application Set and click Refresh.

If the problem persists notify the Administrator.

Citrix suggests I ensure im not using the same published app name on 2
servers in different farms on the same subnet. So I am going to look through
the REG entries on the servers in both farms to see if I can find anything
amiss.

If you delete them from the registry you will know that it is fixed (ie
reversal of the change that caused the problem).  If you are still having
problems shutdown and rebuild.  Changes/corruption within the registry can
be very painful in the long-run.

However, this for apps that are no longer there.  The apps still exist. And
on this server (where they are supposed to be) but are still reading as
"Read only". I am wondering if my only recourse is to Delete them from the
Registry and then Recreate them

  This application note describes how to delete a published application that
no longer exists on any server in the farm and yet remains on the list in
Published Application Manager with a red circle and a line through the
general application icon. < P>When viewing published applications in
Published Application Manager, an application icon may show a red circle
with a line through it over the general application icon. When viewing the
application properties, a button appears with the statement "Why is this
read only?" Clicking this button reveals the following explanation: "The
configuration data for application <application name> could not be loaded.
You will not be able to delete, change or modify the application." 

The following registry entries reveal that in fact the application does not
exist:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\Applications\

(This lists applications for the Windows NT scope.)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\Managed
Applications\ 

(This lists applications for the Citrix Farm scope.)

WARNING: Before performing the actions described below, make 
absolutely
certain that this application does not exist on a server that may
temporarily be inactive in the farm.

run qserver /app at the Citrix Server Command
 line

The issue is that the application is being initialized by the ICA Browser
but does not exist as a published application on any server in the farm.

To resolve this issue, run regedt32.exe and select the following registry
key: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICABrowser\Parameters\

Delete the value ManagedAppNames for the published application that no
longer exists in the farm. The application name is removed from the
Published Application List (This lists applications for the Citrix Farm
scope).

Delete the value AppNames for the published application tht no longer exists
in the Domain Scope. The application name is removed from the Published
Application List.(This   lists applications for the Windows NT scope)=
.

Run Qserver /election at the command prompt or stop and restart the ICA
Browser service on each server in the   farm to update the
information.

How do I delete a Server from the farm or the entire   Farm I created
in
Published Application Manager? 

1. A server should not be removed from a Farm. 

2. A server should change Server Farm membership.

3. Citrix does not provide a supported method 
 either through any user interface or from the registry.=


4. Deleting the farm from the registry can=3D=
20cause undesirable consequences. 

5. Ensure all published applications, domain or farm scope, are removed from
this server within Published Application Manager

6. Run regedt32.exe and select the following registry key:


7.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICABrowser\Parameters\

8. Delete the string under the value of Neighborhood.

9. Restart the ICA Browser Service.

10. If the desired result is to remove more than one  server from the farm,
Repeat steps 5-9 to all servers.
