Newer difficulties are with some older .PDF files (from 2007) and I cannot say with what software they were built, though it was probably Foxit Reader 2.0. These have the unfortunate property of shutting down the X-server if I try to load them into PDFEdit, or at least so it seems as the machine wishes me to login again.
Next month, I will try Lucid and see if the problem disappears on the same documents.
