There's also xps from the contrib software that comes with X11R4.
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.)
