Hi
A new version of 'xpdf' has been uploaded to a server near you.
DESCRIPTION: ============ An open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

Why is xpdf installed in /usr/bin? It looks like a X11 only application, shouldn't it be installed under /usr/X11R6/bin?
I looked into the Cygwin/X FAQ and there seems to be no guideline for this, but other applications (for instance nedit) are placed in the X11R6 subtree, and XEmacs which works with or without X is under the top subtree.
I rather have xpdf under the X11R6 subtree, unless I'm mistaken and it also works w/o X11.
There's precedent for putting it in /usr/bin. Check out other distros. FC4 puts it there. I seem to recall an old comment (not from this list) suggesting that separating X and console binaries is deprecated. I could be wrong about that though.
