 As some of you will know, I've been having problems with evince
running under 7.3 - it would open a pdf, but at a smaller size than
I liked, and if I changed the zoom percentage it crashed the xorg
server and gdm restarted.  This is on x86_64-64, strangely enough on
ppc64 it works ok.

 A week or so ago I reverted xorg to 7.2 on that box.  This week I
found a bug response asking which version of pixman I was using, and
today I've finally rebuilt xorg-7.3 with pixman-0.9.6 (and also
xorg-server-1.4.0.90 which fixes the keyboard LED issue and
apparently fixes a memory leak).  It's working great.
