Yes, desk accessories often don't work under Executor, especially accesses to menus. This is something we're working on. In addition, installation of Desk Accessories needs a bit of work because the Browser doesn't acknowledge the installation until after you run a program, and if you drag something to the hotband twice, it gets put in there twice. It turns out that today I'm working on a variety of Browser related bugs, so I'll try to fix the Font/DA Installation problems. Next week I'll try to get to DA problems with menus.
