I didn't notice that gnome apps had stopped being buggy. Every time I figure I'll try one (such as Evince) I always hit some bug. I use Kpdf most of the time but xpdf has a smaller footprint (both memory and disk space requirements). I have Kpdf on my main Athlon box and xpdf on my PII. I can view a pdf directly on the PII with xpdf or I can ssh -X into my athlon box and view it with Kpdf if I set Kpdf for poor performance. Its stores rendered pages in the Xorg memory footprint on the PII. If I'm really tight for memory, I'll run xpdf on the Athlon and it will keep rendered pages on the Athlon.
