You've lost me. kcolorchooser allows me to sample the colour directly
from AR's window and it reports the colour back as a hex string.
Therefore there's no trust involved, at least not in the sense
that you're getting at.

Yes. xpdf 3.01 works as expected although it fails on the test
that Martin alluded to earlier in this thread. Anyhow, I've
posted a bug report at:

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05ae39

The Linux AR folks who monitor the above forum are usually pretty
responsive. I would also suggest that anybody who has a direct
Adobe contact file a separate report. The more times
the problem is brought to Adobe's attention the more likely
it is to be fixed, or declared a problem with the PDF generated
by pdftex.

Cheers,

James
