Desktop gurus: I have freshly installed (no upgrade) build 127. The acroread application is behaving oddly. When invoked, a window frame appears. Anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes later, either the file I invoked on the command line appears, or the File menu can be accessed.
The only files I can open are in the Recent list. When I select File > Open, nothing happens. Or, if it does, it happens so much later that I'm not around to choose a file. To close a file, File > Close works well. The x button at the top right of the PDF window does not work at all; eventually the mouse works again and then the File > Close menu works to close the window. Once, when I killed the process, a message something like "gtk -Remote Volume Manager is not known by hal - dbus". Am sure that I have garbled the message. Does anyone know how I can get Acroread to work as it used to - come up and display any pdf file? Thanx, please respond to me in addition to the alias. I am not on the alias, -- Sharon
