So you included package keymaps-de_ch & have KEYBOARD_MAP=de_ch in one of your thinstation.conf<whatever> files?
... as a I have a very special confugration to deal with network wise ...
Well, there is/was a /thinstation.buildtime, and some in /etc. The .user one is a link to /root/... but the link target is not there ...
If you have more that one thinstation.conf<whatever> files (eg. thinstation.conf.buildtime, thinstation.conf.network & thinstation.conf.user), TS will use the last one.
grep KEYBOARD /etc/thinstation.* should show what is set.
I now replaced "en_us" in every thinstation.* file, now set shows de_ch, LC_XXX tpoo (de_CH).
But still, no luck

As far as we are concerned things are fine (but > they may not but no one complained). Well, either I got a mix for whatever en_us and de_ch or de_ch is that strange on TS ... For example, the key "!" returns "+" ... Well, strange enough, a set command on the console returns "en_us" for keyboard_map ... Also, console and icewm are consistently "wrong"... Strange, other distros use "de_CH", not "de_ch" ... well, as of the build part of TS, de_ch seams right ...
TS settled on the rdesktop naming (rather than the X naming) a long time ago. The console, rdesktop, freerdp and X all use different names...... (an absolute PITA).
So, the X de_CH is renamed to de_ch so that they are consistent. Not the way I'd do it, but changing it is an even bigger PITA (I have tried).I'm off tomorrow, so I'll see to compile a de_CH as de_ch from CentOS ... BTW: Any experience with the "Windows Key"? Is it possible to make it work under ICA?
I think that there is some other configuration problem as the Windows Key should work (as should de_ch). ICA needs a number of configuration items to run correctly, and also allows for specific manipulation (eg. ICA_WFCLIENT_type_specific)
We really need someone who knows citrix to give you advice here...

I know Unix fairly, but nothing related to X, as I mainly work with the server part => no X ..
I'll try the prefs.js option app.upüdate.auto = false and app.uipdate.enabled = false (BTW: I use squashfs to exctract, change and rebuild the initrd and use the network config file, so "everything" related to TS can be managed from the server - another very big plus for TS - a really great thing!
