CVS-1.224; pdftex-mode not displaying previews

Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

This is an update to previous reports. I have found the reason for my problems
in getting previews in pdftexlatex-mode:
teh file preview.dsc generated by pdf2dsc starts like: 
%%BeginSetup
(circ.pdf) (r) file { DELAYSAFER { .setsafe } if } stopped pop
 pdfopen begin
%%EndSetup
and  is located in the preview temp dir

runnig gs on this file results in the following  error:

AFPL Ghostscript 8.14 (2004-02-20)

This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
Error: /undefinedfilename in --file--
Operand stack:
   (circ.pdf)   (r)

manually changing preview.dsc to contain:

%%BeginSetup
(../../circ.pdf) (r) file { DELAYSAFER { .setsafe } if } stopped pop
 pdfopen begin
%%EndSetup

and running ps-execute-buffer generates the preview images. 

So, solutions to the problem: generate the preview-pdf in the temp dir (or move it there after generation...

or put preview.dsc in the top  dir

or patch preview.dsc before running gs.
