I tested this with one of my dot file and it works ok. The only problem
is in the generated tex file: the graph is too large to fit on an

enable the fields to edit and the commit button. Display an question

in my opinion.

Unfortunately there is no real solution for the bibtex problem, but as a
workaround you can run view->update postscript just before exporting. Then
the bibtex files will be generated. In the long term we should introduce a
needbbl flag for the converters.
