Had problem installing via Synaptic - reported not able to find correct 
version of some cups related files. As I don't have a printer on the 
machine, I continued.

Although the man page states "You can also start xpdf without opening 
any files", there is not a *convenient* way to select a file to open 
[requires opening a sequence of multiple dialogs].

Highlighting search string works fine. Menus and controls are much too 
small to be acceptable.

As Curt and Alexander agree that my highlight problem with Evince is 
desktop &/or theme related, I will pursue that.

Thanks.
