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.
