Citrix and Debian Etch

I've been waiting a while and testing Debian etch before upgrading my main desktop from sarge to etch. So far the upgrade has went well. Instead of using ice weasel, I just loaded Firefox and Thunderbird with the lightning plug in for my calendar. One of the biggest hitches so far is adding my new citrix client so I can use my citrix server here at home. First off, libmotif3 isn't loaded and i havent been able to find it in the debian repository. If try to run ICA 10, you'll get libXm.so.3 errors due to no openmotif2.3 libs installed. No worrys. Go to here and download the libmotif2.2.3 deb and install it using dpkg. You will find the libXmso.3 in /usr/X11/lib directory. I've found its just as easy to create a soft link to it in /usr/lib. I had where it wasnt in my path. Download the new citrix ICA client for Linux. I keep with the rpm download and just convert it to deb using alien -d. Easy enough; You may have to hit the repository to get a few tools. I forget the list off the top of my head though. If you get the error: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING., use xset fp rehash to reset your X fonts. You should have a working citrix client. All you need to do now is do your drive mappings. I map c: to my home dir and you should be all set.
