I made a simple graphic (a single ellipse) in draw,
and exported it as EPSF with preview.

I checked the content with kghostview, and it was correct.

I then placed (embedded) the ellipse on a new draw-ing, and created
a rectangle around the ellipse. I then exported THIS page as EPSF.

Viewing this file with kghostview
showed a rectangle, with no ellipse; THIS IS WRONG.

A little low level postscript hacking showed that the ellipse was WAY off the
bottom of the page (by about 10 pages with, judging by eye)

Bizarrely, printing postscript to a file generates correct
output, so there *is* working code in there somewhere, but it's
not being used on export.
