I don`t understand while a bug known for so long seems to be still present in 
Xubuntu 13.04.
If ghostscript is the problem why is the buggy version still in use?
Or do I encounter a different problem?

Additional, the workaround (comment #11) given above is not effective (at least 
not
for me):

$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
evince <name>.ps
    "EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: 
assertion `surface' failed"

export LANG=C
$ echo $LANG
C
evince <name>.ps
    "EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: 
assertion `surface' failed"

Is there an effective workaround known (commandliner would be
appreciated)?

Any fixed/improved packages available via PPA (if not generally)?

Or are users forced to use gv (it still works - so many users may use it as 
workaround - but I really
would like to use evince for PS viewing)?
