Thanks. Mplayer seems to be the way to go as we kind of came to the
same conclusion ourselves. That will take a while to implement and I
was wondering if there was a short-term solution via citrix itself.

WMV plays OK sometimes using Totem or Mplayer. Both of those are kind
of a pain to get working, though, if you don't have the right distro.
But in theory, if you have the ability to remaster the images on those
thin clients, you could maybe possibly get it working.

Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute.
But set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
