I use rdesktop occasionally when our NT Admin is out or needs help. I
haven't had the problems you've stated above. On a rare occasion in
windowed mode, rdesktop will start blinking wildly and will take 30
seconds or so to minimize in order to be usable. In full-screen mode, I
have run rdesktop for several hours without any hitches. I am running
version 1.1.0+cvs20020907 from a Debian package on gnome 1.4/XFree 4.2.

Haven't tried this. There is an ICA client for Linux which works rather
well:

Obviously, you will need the appropriate licenses and Citrix installed
on your Terminal Server.
