Hi Adam,

for me using 'epstool' works great to adjust the bounding box. This was 
the best and easiest way I found for myself to get rid of the 
surrounding white space in pstricks pictures:

dvips -E file.dvi -o tmp.eps
epstool --copy --bbox --output file.eps tmp.eps

epstool exists as package for my Debian machine. I don't know where you 
can get it otherwise.

Hope this helps you,
Christoph
