Here is the screencast of a freshly installed Citrix Receiver application with default options comes with installation.
Once you have any of the Citrix plugins installed, system rebooted if required and launched, then the receiver detects the plugin existence and maintains it’s auto-updating.
It provides you a quick view of what all plugins installed properly on the system along with their versions and enable/disable status.

It consolidates the existing plug-ins and shows up single “Citrix Receiver” icon in systray which also gives you a quick option to “Open Dazzle”.
