pdf ok now, but the dvi is shifted up and to the right... :(

Now I use a workaround in form of an environment:

\startenvironment pdf-figures
\input ifpdf.sty
\ifpdf
\def\dogetobject#1#2#3#4#5#6#7%
  {\initializepaper
   \forgetall
   \dontshowcomposition
   \setbox\scratchbox\vbox
     {\doinsertobject{#1}{#2}}%
   \setbox\scratchbox#3%
     {\vbox to #5\scaledpoint
        {\ifdim\ht\scratchbox>#5\scaledpoint
           \vss\hbox to #4\scaledpoint{\hss\box\scratchbox\hss}\vss
         \else\ifdim\wd\scratchbox>#4\scaledpoint
           \vss\hbox to #4\scaledpoint{\hss\box\scratchbox\hss}\vss
         \else
           \vss\box\scratchbox
         \fi\fi}}%
   \box\scratchbox
   \elabelgroup}
\fi
\stopenvironment

Greetings, Peter
