Howdy,

I compiled the file

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(\linewidth,5)
\psbrace(0,0.5)(\linewidth,0.5){\fbox{Text}}%
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

with xelatex+xdvpdfmx and separately with latex+dvips+ps2pdf14 and  
viewed both. There is a major difference.

and I'm not at all sure either one is correct. I just noticed the  
extra ``garbage'' on the right side of the latex compilation.

Good Luck,
