+1, no solution though other than use what works.

I think kpdf could use some attemtion. Refer to bug #1, I added comments to 
that bug concerning an issue with kpdf.

kpdf is good for quick views while browsing the web, for working with pdf's at 
work I view with 'mupdf', and evince to working around bug #1 for my printing 
pdf needs. Okular is nice but way more depends thasn evince..I could go on 
and on about pretty DE's taking precedence over applications :-)
