No luck! I did not manage to create an interest in the AucTeX mailing list for using AucTeX preview-latex in org-mode. Does anyone have an idea how to proceed with this? I really think that it would be a good feature to be able to work with pstricks code in org-mode. I'm I the only one to think that way?
