I've really no use for citrix, but the cool thing is, you've confirmed an applet running via jalimo; with some work (maybe greasemonkey?) it should be possible to convert embedded applets in web pages to links, allowing you to run the applet. Or of course, a Java plug-in, but that's more real work.

It would be awesome if this could be tweaked to run at an acceptable speed.

Yes!
Citrix would really rock on the N810. Another step to replace my laptop for business trips.

In terms of general use for java applets, be forewarned that I have found the following...
As for browser support, someone could probably get some kind of greasemonkey script working, but there is also a plugin called gcjwebplugin that is supposed to be a firefox plugin that uses gappletviewer to run applets embedded in the browser. However, to me this would just create more overhead further decreasing perfromance.
Finally, it looks like the version of gappletviewer and maybe even gnu classpath that is being used in Jalimo may be a little old. I wonder if we got a newer port if it would work better. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing the progress of Sun's PhoneME for OS2008 if anyone has any info. I think it would be worth a try. Along those same lines, has anyone tried using SUN's appletviewer in PhoneME on OS2007?
- Doesn't seem to work with archived (jar) applets when loading gappletviewer with a url. Some kind of classpath issue???
- Does not seem to work with proxies... doesn't seem to use http_proxy.
- I've said this before, but performance is lacking. This is probably more JVM related.
- It warns that some security features are not implemented, so it may be dangerous to use with malicous applets.

You may. 
Because often enough I end up having to VNC through Citrix. Ever "worked" across the world through VNC-Citrix-VNC? No - lucky you.

Hmm, doesn't sound good. I do feel lucky.
But in that case, why not RDP?
RDP-Citrix-VNC; just so when someone asks you which you use, you can say "yes".

You can use it to securely tunnel into the corporate network (and then proceed to use VNC securely), securely transfer files, and you can even use sshfs to mount corporate network folders from anywhere you can get Internet access.
Yes!

But if your corporate IT dep't is using Citrix, they're probably going to say, "What's SSH? Are telling me to be quiet?"

I have yet to test it, anywho.
These are the rough steps to get it working. Like I said, it is REALLY slow. Also, I can't seem to be able to run seamless mode. Plus it seems to crash after a short period of time. So in other words, it's not very useful, but maybe someone will have more success than I
