very unfortunate...
because. the same file could be opened in a previous version of evince. If
it was broken, that shouldn't have been possible. I don't think its a
problem with gnuplot.

  evince cannot render some EPS files

Bug description:
  I upgraded to Ubuntu Saucy,
  evince cannot render EPS files generated by gnuplot.
  (Just show an empty page.)

  
  [how to reproduce]

  1. Generate an EPS file using gnuplot by executing the following command.
  $ gnuplot -e "set terminal postscript; set output 'test.eps'; plot x;"

  2. Open the file "test.eps" just created.
  $ evince "test.eps"

  The following are what evince writes to the terminal.

  (evince:24176): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages:
  assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed

  (evince:24176): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView':
  invalid matrix (not invertible)

  (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface:
  assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed

  (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface:
  assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed

  3. Then evince just shows an empty (white) page.

  ===

  If i rotate 90 or -90 degree by pressing Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right key,
  evince can show this file correctly.

  ===

  Okular, GIMP, inkscape and gs can show this EPS file.
  (may be rotated 90 degree, however)
