I'm running a WIN32 app under WINE on linux, and the app needs to
launch PDF files in acrobat.  I've got the WINE MIME system handling
the .pdf extension by running a small C program that fixes up the
Windows path generated by WINE and then launches the native Linux
Acrobat 5 with the linux path on the command line.

This all works, except that Acrobat always launches 2 windows.  What
you see is the one containing the document, but when you close that
window, there's a blank Acrobat window behind it, which also needs to
be closed.

I don't see any command line option to prevent this, and I'm wondering
if this is a known bug - and if so, if there is a workaround.

Thanks,
Rob
