Opera 7.11 and Acroread5

[Chris Bryant]

No kidding. It really was working for me in xfce 3.8.18, opera 7.11 on
a RH8 system.
I was using xfwm, here is the code for xfce 3.8.18 from my .xinitrc. 

xsetroot -solid black -cursor_name watch
xset fp+ "/usr/share/xfce/fonts"
if [ -d "$HOME/Desktop/Autostart" ]; then
  for i in `ls -1 ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart/ 2>/dev/null`; do
    if [ -x $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i ]; then
      $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i &
    fi
  done
fi
xscreensaver -no-splash &
exec xfwm
xsetroot -solid black

If I use netscape then what I get is another window from telling me it's
opening the pdf with /usr/local/bin/acroread. It then pops up the
acrobat window with the pdf loaded - and that works even with xfce4.
