I upgraded to Ubuntu Saucy,
evince cannot render EPS files generated by gnuplot.
(Just show an empty page.)

[how to reproduce]

1. Generate an EPS file using gnuplot by executing the following command.
$ gnuplot -e "set terminal postscript; set output 'test.eps'; plot x;"

2. Open the file "test.eps" just created.
$ evince "test.eps"

The following are what evince writes to the terminal.

(evince:24176): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed

(evince:24176): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible)

(evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed

(evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed

3. Then evince just shows an empty (white) page.

If i rotate 90 or -90 degree by pressing Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right key,
evince can show this file correctly.

Okular, GIMP, inkscape and gs can show this EPS file.
(may be rotated 90 degree, however)
