I believe this method fails to preserve vertex coordinates from an 
original Combinatorica Graph[...] object in case one changes the vertex 
labels to, say, letters.  For example:

   g = SetEdgeLabels[SetVertexLabels[Wheel[4], Characters["1234"]],
    Characters["defabc"]];

   GraphPlot[torules[g], EdgeLabeling -> True, VertexLabeling -> True,
      VertexCoordinateRules -> getcoords[g]]
