Great to hear.

It uses the Option when in GWorkspace, you click on a PDF file on the
Desktop.

some tests reveal the following:
- using -GSFilePath parameter works with CVS version
- opening a PDF file, either via open command or GSFilePath, in about 3
of 5 tries,  I see the following message on the console:
  2010-11-07 11:30:22.033 GSPdf[29694] NSBitmapImageRep: nil image data
  then only the viewer opens, but I don't see the PDF, when I click on
the pages on top, or activate the AntiAlias checkbox, then it renders
the PDF fine. The other times it just works fine.
- I've one PDF that by a chance of 1 of 5 tries, crashes GSPdf, see the
backtrace from the core dump below.
  (I can send the PDF Off list if you want to try to reproduce, just let
me know)
Trying to run GSPdf directly from within gdb, doesn't seem to work, when
it tries to open a file, I see this [New Process <PID>], and then it
just sits there and waits...

Something that would be nice if GSPdf could remember that I had the
AntiAlias checkbox activated.

All tests done on OpenBSD, 4.8 -current, on i386. With latest available
releases of gnustep stable releases, using cairo backend. Ghostscript is
version 8.63, cairo version is 1.10.0.

BTW: two weeks ago at p2k10, I imported a couple of gnustep apps into
the OpenBSD ports tree, to see whats there take a look here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/x11/gnustep/
More will follow, as time permits...

cheers,
Sebastian
