My guess would be that in XFCE, gs is successfully doing whatever |
| 9 |
(showing, interpreting, ??) in a terminal window and then immediately |
| 10 |
closing when done. |

Have you tried a GUI such as Okular or Evince? They both support viewing |
| 13 |
.ps files. |

|
| 15 |
In Thunar, just right click on the file and choose "Open with >" and |
| 16 |
either Okular or Evince if they are listed, or "Open with Other |
| 17 |
Application ..." if they aren't. (But if they aren't listed, you might |
| 18 |
have to install them, or a similar GUI viewer.) |

I honestly have no idea about hylafax and YajHFC. Unless there is more |
| 23 |
here than just trying to view a .ps file (or you are working in a very |
| 24 |
restricted environment), they are probably not the best tool. |
