Alan,

Here's update for your questions.
1) Do you want to support "Sun's Windows Desktop Connector"
Yes.

After talked with Padu Iyer and Sangeeta Varma tsclient is going to
support the Sun Ray Windows Connector, whose CLI name is uttsc. For
this, we'll add one more connection type called "RDP v5 (Sun Ray
Version)", which is actually called "/opt/SUNWuttsc/bin/uttsc".

For RDP and RDP v5, tsclient will still call rdesktop, please check the
discussion attached for details.

2) Will the ICA stuff work if Citrix is installed or is it compiled
out?
Craig Bender is on vacation until 7th of July, I'm still waiting.

I'll send out updated version together when I get I have answer to
question #2.

Thanks,
Halton.
