[pstricks] prosper overlay problems

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it does not help much. When I 
remove the pdf option, it compiles without problems but does not produce 
any overlays -- both frames are displayed simultaneously. The same can be 
achieved if I simply remove all \overlays and \fromSlide{#}{..} commands, 
but this is not what I need.
