bitmapped preview would be generated.
If the aforementioned tools were available a vector based EMF preview
image would be generated.
Does your correspondent's Linux have pstoedit, convert or gs installed?
I ran OOo 2.0.2 Writer via "strace -f" on my FC3 and looked at the trace
output after inserting an EPS image (which shows as a bitmap in writer).
As you've said here and previously, it first tried pstoedit, which isn't
on my system. It then tried "convert', which I do have, with the
commandline:
/usr/bin/convert -density 300x300 eps:- png:-
I then moved convert aside and reran the strace. This time it used gs to
do the conversion (to PNG).
Moving gs aside finally exhausts Writer's attempts to display a
bitmapped image. It gave up and displayed the generic frame as you describe.

So, what is correct here and am I missing some other configuration
option in OO.org related to the preview generation? I reviewed the
Options menu tree and unless I am going blind in my middle age, I did
not see anything that would be relevant here.
Any takers?
Thanks,
