Yes, I know context is not latex3, but I realy think it could be !
Thats why I'm going to switch from latex to context.

Yes, that is what is was first tried.

http://www.ensta.fr/~diam/pub/context_test/

- 01-problematique.pst.pdf :
  the figure that now works because I'v haded a first white psframe
  (in the pstricks code)

- 09-coutReduits.pst.pdf :
  A figure that becomme black in context but a small party which
  had a white psframe in it.
  Thank to it I found the previous solution

  The tex/pstricks source for these two figure a provide too.

- ucp_latex_seminar.pdf :
  The final document produiced whith latex + seminar + pstricks
  that I want to reproduice with context + pstrick
  then, later, with either metapost or pdftricks.
  
- ucp_context_test.pdf :
  the first try whith context and all the black figures 

So, I feel the pdf figures are "transparents", but I don't know how
to paint the context background in "white" instead od "black".
But nox, I can add a big white rectangle as the first line of all 
pstricks "pspicture".

yes that is how I do (sometimes I also add "pagma")

\setupcolors[state=start]
.... [background=color,backgroundcolor=white]

should work ok

btw, there is a module m-pstricks that some of the users on this list are 
using that you can use to directly include pstricks code.

only xpdf has the problem with black backgrounds. Using Acrobat Reader
5.0.5 or GhostScript everything is fine.
