Re: AdobeReader crashes on SUSE 10.0 RC1 i386

Hi,
The workaround couldn't resolve the issue of firefox plugin, because
it's a shared object rather than a startup script. We must force firefox
to use xim, otherwise nppdf.so will crash firefox.
I think maybe we should push Adobe to release a new acroread binary
version which is linked against libstdc++.so.6, rather than the old one.
