Firefox complains:

] bugs.freedesktop.org uses an invalid security certificate.
] 
] The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
] 
] (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)


But surely the developpers must be aware wether they are supporting 
certificates or not.

Then I'll click on acrobat to read a file ;-)

Ugh. I'm a gnome user, but I don't usually have the filebrowser opened. I 
use terminals, either CLI or midnight commander. There are quite a number 
of gnome applications that I call directly from the command line as I 
don't know how to call them by clicking on a menu:

gnome-session-save
gnome-session-properties
gnome-control-center

But also khelpcenter (gnome-help fires firefox and doesn't work right).

Mmm, no. I just tried. It saves a copy of the PDF without the data. Worse, 
the copy has doubled the original size (from 275772 to 544000), and has 
altered the colours of the document to to point of being useless.
