Rough idle after head gasket work

My 1995 9000 CSE Turbo blew its head gasket in Michigan, 600 miles from home :-( I limped to a shop in Bay City, where they diagnosed the problem. I left the car there, they put in a new gasket, and my son drove it back home the other day. I now find that it is running roughly (tho not stalling) at idle and when driving at low RPMs (below 1500 or so on the tach). At higher engine speeds it seems fine - plenty of oomph. Could this have been something that was done wrong when the gasket was replaced, or is it just a coincidence? Anyone have any hypotheses for either case?
thanks,
Steve Gaarder
