The client will still run, however it has very serious graphics issues = screen doesn't refresh automatically, much text is replaced by solid black or white bars. I origilally tried v6.0, then I tried v4.1. Both have the same problem. My older machine in the basement does not have the same problem. It runs v4.1, on Mac OS 8.1. Has anyone else had this problem?

Just tried version 6. Instead of names on the desktop - I get white bars. If you click an icon, the text appears...
Oops, I just switched back to look at it...white boxes all over. What a mess.

OK, so I'm not the only one. What comes next? Fixing it. I think it's up to Citrix's programmers, although I'd be open to anyone's suggestions.

You can use the v.4.1 client, which seems to work fine under 9.1.
Here's where to find it: http://download.citrix.com/pub/clien...410.en.sea.hqx

Sorry, v4.1 doesn't work for me. It has the same problems as 6.0.

Yes, neither 4.1 or 6.0 work on my G4 with OS 9.1.

I'll send a note to Citrix - I suggest you folks do the same!
