Sorry to side-step your real topic ...

But what features or interface usage do Pagemaker and Paint Shop Pro 
provide you that you need?

I have used a Pagemaker and Paint Shop Pro a little several years ago, and 
I have lots of experience with desktop publishing and graphics software in 
general. For my needs, open source software has been adequate and 
depending on the use, very good.

I am just curious ... maybe your needs can be solved with out wine ...
