Symantec Endpoint Protection
There is a document on Symantec's site entitled "Terminal Server and Citrix Best Practices White Paper". An excellent document with how-to guidance on stopping the little SEP icon from traveling over to a Citrix end user when running a published app.
Windows Updates
On all farm servers, be sure to uncheck the box "Allow all users to install updates on this computer". The side effect (affect?) is that a Citrix user may be presented with your server's updates and it may actually allow said user to install them! Why was this not touched on in class?

What finally made it start working
Two farm servers, a webinterface server doing double duty as the license server and a server for the data store. All running Win 2008 R2.
Nothing was working. The classroom instruction did not touch on the fact the Xenapp 6 out of the box would not function at all on a 2008 R2 box patched to SP1. I found a lot of talk of hotfixes on the Citrix forums. I installed the following 14 hotfixes (with a lovely reboot after each one) which actually started to make it work.
So, if you're about to embark on a vanilla Xenapp rollout to a bunch of 2008 R2 Sp1 systems, do not even try to use it until you've done each of these patches, and in this order. There was a #12, but it was not necessary and was removed.
