[Bug 499227] [NEW] mozplugger needs addition to embed pdfs into Firefox using Evince in Karmic 9.10

[Tommy Trussell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozplugger

After upgrading my ASUS Netbook to Ubuntu "Karmic" 9.10 and installing
mozplugger version 1.12.1-1ubuntu1 I noticed that the pdf documents I
open from the web nol onger get embedded into the browser window. Under
Ubuntu "Jaunty" 9.04, installing mozplugger was sufficient to make this
work.

A few Google searches turned up a fix (workaround?):

This posting suggests adding a line to the /etc/mozpluggerrc file in the
PDF stanza:

---
application/pdf:pdf:PDF file
application/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file
text/pdf:pdf:PDF file
text/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file
	repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"    # added line 
	ACROREAD()
	repeat noisy swallow(kpdf) fill: kpdf "$file"
	repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"
	repeat noisy swallow(okular) fill: okular "$file"
	GV()
	repeat noisy fill exits: evince "$file"
---

The added line above is just before "ACROREAD"

Now when I follow links to pdf documents on the web, they are embedded
in the Firefox browser window as expected. I have been poring through
the man page for mozplugger and do not completely understand the purpose
of the existing evince line, so I suspect there might be a better or
more efficient fix to this issue.
