Install the newest Adobe RPM from the adobe website, which for me is
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1
Then the attached patch fixes the problem you see in there.
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin
You know, in a terminal run "patch < acrobat.patch" in that directory.

Thanks, this appears to work. The acid test for me will be when FF
see's a .pdf, and calls acroread to display it. If I can quit that w/o
waiting around for about 1:30 before the exit x I clicked on to work,
I'd say its fixed.
But I'm confused, my question post dates 11/20/06, and it's now
12/08/06, so I'd very nearly forgotten about it. A lack of short term
memory at my age is a curse.
Thanks again.
