   But then I suppose you can't have the latex commands, for instance you
   can't write $\alpha$ in xfig and get an alpha, or can you?

hmm... if i'd need greek letters, just set font to special
(greek) and start typing:

a -> \alpha
b -> \beta

etc

Also you can put latex text into the picture frame, but
that's a bit sexy...

OK
