    I'm running Acroread on FC4. I installed it from the tar file not from the
    rpm. I'm not having the problems you are but there are some bad bugs in
    Acroread. There is a memory leak that can causes Acroread to get huge,
    I've see it suck up about a gigabyte overnight. It also goes into a mode
    where it consumes 100% of the CPU, it's a low priority thread that's doing
    it so you can still use it even when it's in that mode. In both cases the
    solution is to shut it down and restart it. In FC3 it has another problem
    where it would eat 10Mb of X server memory every time you opened a menu,
    it doesn't do that in FC4.
