Click on the "picture object" tool (the one with the camera) and draw an
arbitrary rectangle on your diagram, about where you want the graphic.
A menu will appear through which you can browse for your graphic file.
Before choosing done, click on "use original size". This will prevent
your graphic from getting warped. Also note: imported ps will look ugly
in xfig, but it will export back to the original quality.
