Yes !
xpdf show the pdf figure well, but not the figure in de pdf
file generated by ConTeXt!
No problem with gv nor with acroread :

Thank you very much!

It does change anything (see the bug from xpdf)

Thank you: so I find the .../cont-tmf/tex/context/base/m-pstric.tex file
and tried the following code.

    \Topic{Test intégrant du pstricks }
    
    % pstric
    % \startPSTRICKS[offset=2pt] ... \stopPSTRICKS
    
    works in both dvi and pdf mode
    \usemodule[pstric]
    
    A--
    \startPSTRICKS
      \pspicture(0,0)(10,10)
        \dorecurse{10}{\psline(0,0)(\recurselevel,10)}
        \dorecurse{10}{\psline(0,0)(10,\recurselevel)}
      \endpspicture
    \stopPSTRICKS
    --B

But for now, it doesn't work 
(but it doesn't mater as I can import pdf file)

as in LaTeX PSTricks requires \special to insert the PS-code in
the output. pdfTeX has no \special and that would even not work
if pdfTeX has it, since PSTricks requires the capabilities of a
PS interpreter that pdfTeX not provides. Thus, use PSTricks
with DVI output or PDF and start MetaPosting ;)

actually, there is some primitive support for simple ps code in pdf, but 
not the full thing; not really worth looking into, more meant for special 
effects in patterns and so
