Ian,
Below are my notes (from various sources which I didn't list!) for 
setting up an ICA client on Breezy. Would suspect it it pretty similar 
for Dapper.

1.    Download Citrix 9.0 client for Linux (RPM version):
http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downloads/details.asp?dID=2755&downloadID=3323#top

2.    Install additional libraries/packages:
sudo apt-get install libxaw6 libmotif3 alien

3.    Link libXm.so.3 so wfcmgr.bin can see it (bug in Citrix client):
sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3

4.    Convert .rpm to .deb using alien command:
sudo alien ICAClient-9.0-1.i386.rpm

5.    Install newly created icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb file:
sudo dpkg -i icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb

6.    Copy over plugins for Firefox/Mozilla
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npica.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so 
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/npica.so

NB To use with CitrixWI (Citrix Web Interface) or CSG (Citrix Secure 
Gateway) associate .ica files with /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica.sh

If when connecting via a CSG, you get an error warning that "You have 
not chosen to "<insert CA name here>", the issuer of the server's 
security certificate." you will need to download the CA's root 
certificate and install them in the ICA Clients certificate store.

Root certficates can be downloaded from:
Thawte        http://www.thawte.com/roots/
Entrust.net        
http://www.entrust.net/downloads/binary/entrust_ssl_ca.cer
If your company is using a private CA you'll need ot get the root cert 
of your company's IT dept.

1.    Download the .cer certificate and extract from any compressed file 
used.
2.    Rename the .cer certificate to a .crt
3.    place the .crt file in ICA Client's CA Keystore 
(/usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts).


Hope this helps.
Stuart
