I've been having a problem with Adobe acroread 7.0, which I believe is related to recent Gnome and or KDE updates from the unsupported directories. I'm not sure how screwed up things are at this point. I have the stuff from www.go-mono.org rug, and the bits from the SuSE ftp site for Gnome and KDE supplementary. When I start acroread normally (F2, or from an xterm) it launched behind the current window and the menu and toolbars look like this http://baldur.globalsymmetry.com/open-source/org/kde/acroread-broken-normal1... If I click a menu item "File", "Edit", etc., acroread crashes, and this message appears in the xterm: "(acroread:326): Gdk-WARNING **: Using Cairo rendering requires the drawable argument to have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap, however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap" If I do this: ssh -X hattons@localhost -f '/usr/X11R6/bin/acroread' The menu and toolbars look like this: http://baldur.globalsymmetry.com/open-source/org/kde/acroread-ssh-works.png and menu items work just fine. This happens with all user accounts I've tried. Suggestions? -- Regards, Steven
