I occasionally use > it instead of ggv. Did you try Evince yet? I haven't time it against gv, but it feels much faster than ggv. Also, it doen't allocate enough memory to trigger the oom-killer on PDFs with big monochromatic bitmaps, like gpdf sometimes does (apparently this is due to being based on an older version of xpdf, and since Evince exists I doubt that gpdf is ever going to see more significant work). I can't see any place where it's a regression compared to gv. I'd say kill them all, as Dan suggested. /Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
