I agree. The biggest shortcoming that I now have with Executor is the
inability to print nicely all those nifty wordprocessing & spreadsheet
apps that I can create with my emulated Mac applications.
I too primarily run Linux and use Linux as my way of getting good
WYSIWYG apps to run under Linux without having to shut down my unix
system and start up M$WinDoze. 

The only weak link for me is the printing. I still must either shut
down, boot Windoze and print under the Windoze version or I must boot
up my old Mac+, transfer the files over a slow null modem serial link
and then wait interminably for the applications to boot & print on my
mac+.

So, for my purposes at least, better PostScript printing is a very
high priority.
