	I had a similar problem a while back with Breezy--I ended up having to 
install FFox from Debian Etch and all the related plug-ins.  I don't 
recall what the exact steps are, and this was for FFox 1.5.01.

	I remember this because my job requires access to PDF files remotely 
and it was mission-critical to continue my employment.  When acroread 
would open the files *outside* FFox, I couldn't get changes to save to 
the server.

	This, BTW, is why I never tried a snapshot of Dapper--I didn't want to 
screw up my FFox/acroread setup.  Now that school is out and I won't 
need it for a few weeks, I'll try and set up Dapper.

	Perhaps an install of FFox and such from the Debian tree once you have 
Dapper tweaked?
