How to know if apps are seamless or not?

[puppet]

How do you tell if an application is set to run in seamless mode? Is it just the application appearance - Full Screen setting?

We have several apps published at 800 by 600 and when I open them via web interface through our Citrix Secure Gateway they open as 800 by 600 but when I open them through the internal web interface server they open at full screen... Why is this?

We need to ensure that our apps are not running in seamless mode with session sharing so that we can inspect the network data as per this link

Any help really appreciated.

This setting can be adjusted in the WI client options when the user logs on, i.e.

http://citrix.domainname.com/Citrix/MetaFrame/default/appsettings.aspx

That being said, are you really looking planning to lessen use experience and degrade server performance for the same of monitoring? What I mean is that seamless application mode not only makes the application appear local to the user, but the session sharing component saves server resources by re-using the same active session on a server, instead of creating a new session to launch a second published application in the same seamless mode.

Patrick that link does not work for me. Can you povide more details as to where to set it in the WI client or even in the program neighbourhood client?

We are not sure at the moment if we want to disable it or not - looking into it though... It isn't just monitoring that is possible with the Exinda unit - it can prioritize applications over printing traffic and even give more priority to one app over another...

I found this which seems to indicate to me that Seamless windows and session sharing are turned on by default in PS3 - is this the case?

Thanks for your input - any further thoughts much appreciated.

That link is an example, not an actual URL.
