Hi

This sounds like it is ghostscript that should be fixed, rather than anything 
that use it.

gs --please-be-secure  should not be something that you have to turn on on 
each usage.

What's the good reason to fix in all apps rather than just making gs --please-
be-secure the default ?

(And I don't consider 'ghostscript upstream being idiots' a good reason)

You neither should remove the hard disk, nor need to debug the GUI.
