I've been corresponding with Kevin on some Linux issues, and he just
sent me these two screen shots with permission to share them with the
Linux fans here:

The first is from prior to a recent round of bug fixes, the second from
after.
Note that in addition to the improved appearance of the default button
as I'd noted here earlier, the team has also cleaned up field border
rendering.
While modest enhancements, they go a long way to make our stuff look
good on Linux, and demonstrate some of the effort the team is putting in
on that goal.
Kevin tells me he still doesn't have a definitive word on the
printPaperOrientation issue in Linux, and given that this has also been
cited as an issue with other dev tools I can't predict how it'll go in
Rev 4.5, but I'll report back here as I learn more.
In the meantime at least there's some healthy progress being made there,
and in conjunction with the diagnostic work we're doing on this list the
Rev/Linux situation is looking better every week.
