Yes, I know this workaround and I'm using it ATM. Does this mean that you
can reproduce this bug with the image I sent you in? I tested several
other images from this document before I converted all to pdf, but it
did not depend on the creation history. I think some of them where
created using xfig, others via convert, but I'll investigate this a 
little further.

Thanks,
