Public bug reported:
Evince and evince-previewer do not display anymore some B&W postscript
files, in particular generated by abcm2ps. The displayed pages are
almost blank (there is a very subtle gray for the drawiwngs). However,
when using evince, the print and preview dialogs can display and print
correctly the file. So only evince, and evince-previewer started from
command-line, cannot display the postscript file. Attached file is a
small PS file that reveals the issue.
