I searched whole / and no other files were found - only
those /usr/lib I've written about in previous email.


Could it be that last change?

Oh well... I did "recompiled" that package, in debian you can do that
with every package - it's 'apt-get source package' and 'fakeroot
debian rules/binary'. But here it was not compiling in fact - only
packaging binaries into debian, perhaps with some wrappers.



But - in fact - I just realized that acrobat reader is not totally
necessary for me. I could use anything that:

- doesn't crash galeon

- shows pdf files inside a tab of galeon browser instead of launching 
  a separate window

- can be configured to be used in galeon without uninstalling acroread
  (sometimes I need to use it to look at broken pdf files, it recovers
  errors in the best way (I compared it to other viewers, when I had a
  faulty and important pdf)).

- I prefer if firefox still used acroread at the same time.


I looked at gwteakui-galeon, and galeon's "Edit->Preferences" but
couldn't find the place where I can configure the .pdf handler.


Can you recommend me something?
