Are you starting it from the desktop or from a terminal? If from the
desktop, is there anything in ~/.xsession-errors?
I suspect if you start it from a terminal command line, you might get
errors about missing libraries. Externally-packaged RPMs are notorious
for not including complete lists of requirements, although the
AdobeReader RPM does list a lot of them, so maybe it's not so flagrant
an offender.

AFAICT, acroread is still the command.
$ rpm -qf `which acroread`
AdobeReader_enu-9.5.5-1.i486
I don't have a command starting with Ado*.
