It turns out that AR9.1 for Linux will have a native reload capability,
and so there will be no need to rely on the previously posted JavaScript 
approaches. For a sneak preview, see:

Moreover, according to:

   http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2009/03/_adobe_reader_and_acrobat_91_u.html

Linux AR9.1 is scheduled to appear by March 25th, and so interested 
parties do not have too long to wait.
