pcb 1.99p (recent cvs)
gimp-1.2.3-374
ghostscript-fonts-other-7.05.6-28
ghostscript-fonts-std-7.05.6-28
ghostscript-library-7.05.6-28
ghostscript-x11-7.05.6-28

Increasing the resolution when importing to gimp moves it off page to the right.
I can tell by gradualy increasing it. At 300 it is gone. However, when I run
the ps file through ps2epsi first, it produces results as you describe--like I
had before. But then I have to run ps2epsi, which might be okay if I can write a
gimp script to make and merge the files as transparent layers of the right size.
I haven't looked at gimp scripting seriously yet.
