Pete, there has been a thread on this subject several
times, but I'm not against seeing it again.
Whatever you do, use a prefix to define ALL your objects,

This may apply to anyone running under linux but I've experienced this only

How long does it take to become one (hours, days)?
Graham,
I'm puzzled why you're using ImageMagick when even with ImageMagick you
still need to install GhostScript. Why not only install GhostScript and run
it from the command line (or process)? It can directly convert PDF's to PNG,
BMP, JPG, etc.. which can then be imported into LC.
