Disable "Connecting" Popup...

[Jeff_333]

How to eliminate this "Citrix Workspace" "Connecting..." popup annoyance in CWAL/Citrix Workspace App for Linux?

We have an automated login setup with AD pass through that launches the customer's assigned desktop automatically following successful login via an AD lock screen.  It's otherwise a very "Physical Windows"-esque experience, save for this one vexxing popup.  I'm nearly about to just run a background routine to find and hide it, should it ever try to show itself!  ...But I'd rather not waste the effort if there's some sort of configuration option available to me.  The closest option I've found is the wfica option "-quiet" as described here: https://developer-docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-linux/citrix-workspace-app-for-linux-oem-reference-guide/reference-information#:~:text=Suppress connection dialogs

Part of the problem is we're also running IGEL OS, so creativity is required to resolve....  So far I haven't gotten anywhere with IGEL on eliminating this popup on OS 11 or OS12. (Yes I've asked in the IGEL Community and IGEL Support)

The only, and closest reference to it I've been able to find otherwise is from an ancient MIT Solaris Citrix configuration, of all things: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/net/project/citrix/arch/sun4x_59/Wfica#:~:text=initialization dialog ! Wfica*-,InitPanel_popup,-.title%3A Citrix ICA

I was able to catch some info via xdotool:

Just an FYI, we were able to resolve the popup via the following insertion on the IGEL configuration side.  IGEL has also recognized this as a bug, as an option exists to "suppress" connection popups in the IGEL wrapper which is obviously not functioning...  Here's our workaround:

(IGEL) Final Desktop Command: death_to_popups='export WFICA_OPTS="-quiet $WFICA_OPTS";echo "I might have won WFICA_OPTS with $WFICA_OPTS"'; if ! grep -qF "$death_to_popups" "/services/ica/bin/wrapper.env"; then sed -i_pre_j "/final/i\\$death_to_popups" /services/ica/bin/wrapper.env; fi
