And thats a bummer. My installed copy of kpdf-trinity won't open anything 
not in my home directory. What the heck good is that when the majority 
of what I might want to read with it is in /usr/share/doc.  That ought 
to generate a bug report. But okular works...

And on running it a second time, I was able to back out of my home dir 
and get to the file.  Weirdsville. But the file it opened is about 10 
months out of date and it was downloaded and refreshed this morning 
because it was new in the lcnc repo.  So I'm still puzzled.

But I've been there before too...
