Right, I should have known. Starting Ghostscript is one of the first
things that happens, so you would have seen problems much earlier if it
didn't work.

You can't do that directly, unfortunately. The way it works is that gs
is started initially as an asynchronous process. Imaxima then sends
postscript commands to the running gs process to instruct it to do the
conversions. This is much faster than starting a new gs for every
image.
So, what you need to do is this:
* Apply the following patch:

which makes imaxima print a message about the commands sent to gs. Do
`C-h l' to get a better view.
* Go to the temp directory and start gs with the command line options
you can see from doing `M-x list-processes'.
* Enter the postscript command in gs. It will look something like this:
