Your guess is wrong when using a window manager like windowmaker which 
gives you the opportunity to have menus under which you define the 
command to launch, in this case the job is launched in the background, 
so you can no more control the process (just kill it). Launching it in 
an xterm and not in the background allows you to have control on the 
xterm where you can unhang if I dare say so the process.

And by the way, I never said it fixed the problem, I just said it's a 
possible work-around (hopefully temporary).

It is under Fink (Mac port), and again Texmacs wants GhostScript 6.x, 
so...
