Wow, that is even better! I updated to latest beta because of this and it works
like a charm:)
P.S: Now I'also getting the 1.7MB pdf when including the png-file, like
mentioned in the thread "terrible png placement". (ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.09
20:58 MKIV, LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011110321 (rev 4277), Win32)
But I don't have png's in my work file, so that's no biggie.
