Acroread 9.3.2 unstable under Fedora 13

Question

I hope Adobe reads this.
Acroread has been showing some strange and annoying problems since I started using Fedora 13. I have been using Fedora since core 6 and I have never encountered such problems before. I used to install a fresh version manually rather than using the one in the Adobe repo, but since F11 I yum install / update Acroread.
The problems:
- maximising the window will maximise the window but leave the body at the same size it was, adding a solid grey below and right of the body to fill up the window. Reloading the document (ctrl-R) works sometimes, mostly it doesn't. I can increase the size of the window and body by using the arrows at the window edges.
- opening another document (in a new tab) often causes the whole window to jump to another screen (I use nVidia twinview setup: one X screen, and so one desktop, divided over two monitors). Whether it does that depends on the document's settings regarding window size, and it happens with 9 out of 10 documents. I can drag the window back to where it came from but upon any reload while that particular document is open it will jump back. It looks like Acroread is desperate to stay on the monitor that I set as 'main'.
- when multiple tabs are open, the toolbar and tab bar may freeze up. I can no longer click on a tab to go to that document, I have to use the keyboard to go to Window (alt-W) -> the document (use arrow keys). If I wish to close a document, same story: use keyboard to navigate to 'close tab'. Clicking in the document body does not help.
- when Acroread is open, the Firefox plugin to read PDFs in the browser (Adobe Reader 9.3, Firefox 3.6) often crashes (but not always). Or the other way around...
Hope these issues are solved in an update in the very near future.
Cheers,
Nik

As I assumed the problem lies with the faces functionality, I tested what happened if I deleted faces.db and faces.db-journal from the iPhoto Library/Database/apdb folder. After that, I was able to open iPhoto without it crashing immediately. Of course the faces information was lost but I would not have cared. However, the crashes started again at after a few times I had opened iPhoto. It al least allowed me to check my projects and slideshows in order to produce albums or at least pdf documents of the things I wanted to keep.
I finally tried the iPhoto Library Manager and rebuilt my library. Although it produced 3 errors, all related to faces, this apparently did not have any negative consequences. iPhoto runs, I have my fotos and albums and even the faces information in my new library and have not had a crash since.
For anyone with similar problem: I can really recommend this solution because it creates a completely new library so you can get rid of errors in your old onelibrary. The rebuilt library includes all your fotos (including the modified versions) and albums. However, you loose your slideshows and projects.
