Summary: xdvik should behave like dvips for raster images

Initial Comment:
If I use LaTeX's picture environment, with various \put statements for text and an \includegraphics command{x.eps}  where the content of x.eps is a raster image rather than draw commands, then xdvik does not show the text.  If I use and eps file with vector graphics commands (as produced for example by Inkscape), then xdvik does show the text.   On the other hand, a ps file (converted to pdf) does show both the text and graphics in both cases.   It would be very helpful if xdvik behaved like dvips in this respect.

dvips only creates a postscript file; it doesn't interpret or display it.
To display a postscript file, you need a postscript interpreter (remember
that postscript is a Turing complete language). Xdvi can only do DVI, which
is a much simpler format. They're different tools for different tasks.
