Okey, I have now solved one of your problems (after a small X crash that 
caused a bit of havoc in user settings)

To get acrobat reader to open inside mozilla, first you need the plugin placed 
in your plugins directory (that you already had), then you have to have 
acroread in your $PATH, if not then the Helper Application is used instead of 
the plugin and the window is opened outside the mozilla window.

Found that on: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Acrobat


Your error messages I haven't been able to generate. I guess you use gtk2, 
what happens if you use gtk+ instead? Just thinking if the gtk2 is causing this.
