If it needs to provide Win32 semantics to remote applications, perhaps
there is.  (I don't know whether the Citrix client uses one local window
for a whole Windows desktop session or for each remote window.)

rdesktop also works well for me.  It doesn't want to be resized, but you
can configure its "screen" size to exactly fit the frame.  However, it
doesn't provide any activity indication for remote windows.
