Didier,

   OK. I'll get those patches too. The only one in -current is
xpdfrc.diff.gz.

   Sure will.

   Ah, of course. :-) Many like okular, epdfviewer, and all the others. I use
mupdf when there's a document that xpdf-3.04 did not render correctly. One
of the wonderful things about linux and all open-source software is that we
have choices (sometimes too many) and it matters not which each of us
prefers. I don't use vi/vim because of grad school experiences with
line-oriented editors so I use emacs while my sysadmin friends swear by vi.
Shrug.

Best regards,

Rich
