How to hide the published application from the desktop running Citrix XA/XD 7.15 CU2 on IGEL OS


In a Citrix XA/XD 7.15 CU2 environment using IGEL OS10, When publishing the application we are hiding the shortcut from the Desktop. In windows desktops the windows receiver doesn’t display the shortcut in the desktop so it’s working as expected, however the same shortcut is being displayed in the iGEL desktop when the same user logs on using the Linux Receiver (13.7.0). The shortcut should’t be displayed the same way is not in Windows. Anyone running into the same issue? Or any idea how to get this working on the Linux Receiver the same way it works in the Citrix Receiver? Thanks
