OK, I tried

\paper {
        topmargin = 0.5\in
        bottommargin = 0.5\in
        leftmargin = 0.5\in
        linewidth = 3.4\in
        headsep = 0\in
        footsep = 0\in
        hsize = 4.4\in
        vsize = 4.4\in
}

and the formatting seems to be OK (except for the tagline)—i.e., 
everything is, as
far as I can tell, within a 4.4x4.4-inch square—but the paper size 
remains the same.
I tried to open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, Preview, and 
GraphicConverter, and the
PS file in Preview, but the paper size was the same (letter-ish) in all 
of them.
