There may be all sorts of options set. As far as I can tell, none of them perform displaying postscript/pdf files from a remote system.

It's only remote displaying that is the problem. > On 9/1/05, Norman Gaywood <norm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > evince, and other postscript/pdf display programs are extremely slow > > over remote X displays.
