There is xpdf, among other solutions like a pdf to ps converter and gv. Try running "apt-cache search pdf.+view" I think the node "File Types and Programs" in the GNOME Control center will allow you to configure what programs run for certain extensions. > 2.

Try using the XMMS cd-playing plugin to play CDs. I've never tried it, but it should work. > 3. How do I get rid of items that have been placed on the toolbar > at the bottom of the desktop?

I believe right clicking will pop up a menu. I suggest you enable mouse button emulation (search the archives of this list for information on how to do it). > 4.

I did "apt-get install task-gnome-games", and they came up in the "Programs->Games" submenu. I'm not sure why that doesn't work for you.
