[returning to bugs after a brief diversion into private mail]
It looks like the problem is that the default was changed from "use
acroread plugin" to "use acroread as an external viewer" because the
plugin was known to be flaky, but this change was never made to
peoples' existing Netscape prefs files. (I still had "use the plugin"
in my prefs, and I know I ran fix-netscape when the latest netscape
version came out.)
So the problem can be fixed by making the wrapper fix peoples' prefs.
