That is indeed correct. But OO.org uses ghostscript to create the PDF
file...so the problem is not (I believe) with your PDF viewer, but with
the manner in which the PDF file was generated in the first place.

Try the new RPMS. When I was using the initial ghostscript version with
FC2, the DEBUG message(s) would be displayed and indeed the file would
then display properly after clearing the messages.
