Actually, I don't think I need to forward this to the Acrobat maintainer
after all - on second look I believe this is primarily a problem with
Linux Netscape. There may not be anything we can do about it. Both Acrobat
and Netscape have somewhat shaky support on that platform. I'll try to
investigate the problem and if I can come up with some useful advice, I'll
let you know ... it looks like you're doing everything right, though.
