I would not be rushing so much to ditch xpdf. I know of at least
couple packages from TeXLive that do not interact well with poppler.
Also epdfviewer has much to be desired about. Full screen mode doesn't
interact well with CWM for instance. Epdfviewer doesn't support LPD
spooling system as well. For me personally with all its draw backs
xpdf is the pdf viewer for Unix.
