Hello everybody!
The last suggestion works fine on my Ubuntu 11.04 but I have found another more 
wise way to fix the bug. I am not that advanced user of Linux systems and 
cannot do it myself. Moreover the procedure can be applied in such a way that 
it will fix the bug for any system. It would be nice if somebody can do this in 
such a way that other users of Xfig could just update the application from some 
repository or so. Our system administrator Kees Lemmens used the following to 
fix the problem for our Slackware systems:
=======================================================================
Q: Since my system uses Ghostscript 9.0 xfig refuses to import any eps files !

A: This is caused by more strict security settings in ghostscript 9.0
A workaround is to apply the patch xfig-3.2.5b-fix-eps-reading.patch
(use Google) on the source tree and then recompile xfig from scratch.
patch -p0 < xfig-3.2.5b-fix-eps-reading.patch
edit Imakefile
xmkmf
make
make install.all
