There is still something, which does confuse me:
Those are the gs commands as issued by LyX:
------------
starting gs d:/tmp/lyx_tmp938aaa/~lyxgs938.ps
D:/xfree86/lib/x11/lyx/doc/mobius.eps, pid: 938
Command for starting ghostscript:
D:/USR/SHARE/4.03/gs -sDEVICE=x11 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dBATCH -dQUIET

D:/xfree86/lib/x11/lyx/doc/mobius.eps showpage.ps quit.ps -GS [940]

The file ~lyxgs938.ps contains the following:
-------
gsave clippath pathbbox grestore
4 dict begin
/ury exch def /urx exch def /lly exch def /llx exch def
81 34.5 translate
0 rotate
-81 -34.5 translate
0.441417 0.436709 scale
0 0 translate
end
---------
When starting gs with this command in an xterm, mobius.eps is
displayed for a short moment, then it disappears.
For further info I used
D:/USR/SHARE/4.03/gs -sDEVICE=x11 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dBATCH
-dQUIET -r31.782x31.443 -g162x69 d:/tmp/lyx_tmp938aaa/~lyxgs938.ps
D:/xfree86/lib/x11/lyx/doc/mobius.eps showpage.ps
omitting 'quit.ps'.
Now mobius is displayed for a short moment, but disappears immediately
though
the gs-window remains open. Is this the expected behaviour or the
result of a
subtle bug in gs?
At least no more crashes :)
Greets,
