I'm failing now, too! Since I wanted to make just one or two tests  
(could have been ten or 20 times that much in the end), I launched a  
new instance of GNU Emacs. Inside I used AUCTeX to *TeX the test  
file. At one (the first?) try I saw that some external programmed  
could not be used because of missing -shell-escape. Since I haven't  
prepared an AUCTeX command for 'xelatex -shell-escape' I used the  
shell, that is put in "normal" mode of operation, i.e. gwTeX based.  
Could be it was in TeX Live 2007 or gwTeX mood and an elder XeTeX  
produced the EBB file. And after one such try in shell I saw an XBB  
file in the directory, which led me to extractbb.

Today I tried to pass options dvipdf (surely completely wrong) or  
dvipdfm or dvipdfmx to graphicx when loading the package, but failure  
every time (could a mixture of xcolor without option and graphicx  
with dvipdfm bring success?).

Yes, it seems XeTeX has been accepted as something average, normal,  
usual ...
