I also think we should go with cups-1.2.12.  I can confirm it works with 
existing instructions, and it doesn't break any packages that depend on 
it, unlike cups >= 1.3.0.

I've been using poppler-0.6.3 with poppler-data-0.2.0 on my daily 
system, and it works well in a KDE environment.  I can't claim to have 
done extensive testing on it tho, and I haven't tried poppler-0.8 
either.

In kdegraphics, the pdf plugin uses poppler, while kpdf is a kde rewrite 
of xpdf.  So, updating poppler will fix the plugin, but I wouldn't know 
where to find out where kpdf is fixed or not.
