I've had better luck with xps than with GhostScript. To make quick and dirty PostScript to raster converter, one can take xps and change the draws on windows to draws on pixmaps and read back the pixmap when you're done drawing. I tried, and it's pretty straightforward. If there's interest, I could put together some diffs. Caveat, xps is not a complete PostScript implementation. The only reasonably complete X PostScript previewer that I've seen is DEC's dxpsview. (For me, "reasonably complete" means able to display PostScript generated from TeX and dvi2ps.)
