Citrix Receiver Progress Bar / Application open in background

In the newer versions of Citrix Receiver the connection progress bar / status bar launch in the background by default.  In addition once the application opens it is launched in the background.

Application opens in background:
There is a seamless flag that can be set that allows the application to open again in the foreground.  This is set at the XenApp server level.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI
dword=SeamlessFlags
value = 0x4


You can also set this at the Receiver client level.

Progress Bar launches in background:
With Citrix Receiver 4.1 there is now a registry key that can be added to force the progress bar to the foreground.  This is set on the client.
