After `portupgrade -f libbonobo , libbonoboui , gpdf' and restarting
gnome it now works fine.

But with a PDF file with a Launch action (PDF 1.5 reference page 986 at
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/tech/pdf/specifications.jsp) the
error remains after hovering over the action area.  This is illustrated
in prompt.pdf (with xpdf it runs /usr/bin/command without problems).

Just a minor issue I guess.
