Bug Description
Since the last updates to Ubuntu 13.04, Evince is not rendering postscript files any more. I attach a very simple file I produced with LaTeX. I also attach a video that shows what happens, it tries to show the page, but then a 1 (for page 1) appears in the miniature sidebar at the left, and it says "Loading..." but nothing happens.
This is what evince shows from the terminal line:

With ghostscript 9.07, libspectre-based viewers like evince and okular can't display .ps files anymore. Reverting to 9.06 fixes it.
