I tried this, and that's how I found out that it was the
existence of the punctuation in the path that was at fault. No,
I can't invoke 'gv' from my home directory on a temp file under
.kde. However, if I cd into .kde and do it from there, it works
fine. Similarly, I can't invoke it manually on a temp file behind
the subdirectory with "-" in the name, but if I cd into that
subdirectory, it works fine. I should really make a symlink
to the file with no punctuation in it and try that.
I'm not at my KDE system right now but I'll post the
message when I get back to the office. It's the usual impenetrable
glop of stuff issued by GhostScript.
