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)
