I'd love to see the ability to set a default app to run. Even better would be  
if when you run Executor a second time, it could know what the first copy is  
running, and would know whether or not to start the default. If nothing else,  
a pick-list of apps presented on startup, which could be chosen from instead  
of going through the file system.

(The reason I want this is so that whenever I log in, Executor will start up,  
running Quicken.)

PS: I don't know if it's been listed as "compatible" but Civilization runs  
quite well, at least in B&W. Make sure graphics are accelerated, though.
