How important is it to keep around pure X11 versions of tools like this? There are gnome & KDE versions of PostScript & PDF viewers that are much more capable, and far less ugly. Furthermore, I think it's time for 'ggv' and 'gpdf' to go as well, in favor of Evince as the Single Gnome Document Viewer for PS/PDF files. Its going to happen at some point anyway, might as well be now. Total savings from these three would be: 169938 gv-3.5.8-29.i386.rpm 936623 ggv-2.8.3-1.i386.rpm 775003 gpdf-2.9.3-1.i386.rpm ---------------------------- 1881564 Dan PS (I think xpdf has to stick around for now...)
