Description: Ggv has been removed from RHEL5 workstation and replaced with evince. Evince is not a suitable replacement for ggv for the typical use case where a user prints a web page as a postscript file, then opens it in ggv before printing. This is done because it is very typical for a printed web page to have a beginning page with just a header or an end page with nothing but a footer. Using ggv allows you to save paper and easily look for pages that should not be printed. Some current evince bugs make me miss ggv even more. For example, evince does not print odd or even pages correctly. This makes manually printing 2-sided impossible. I do not think evince it a suitable replacement for ggv (yet). Can ggv please be added back to RHEL5? I downloaded the RHEL4 rpm and installed on RHEL5, and it is working, so maybe the RHEL4 rpm can be added to the RHEL5 channel? Version-Release number of selected component: RHEL5 Workstation
Evince is intended to replace the various GNOME pdf and postscript viewers, and most people find that it's a great replacement. If you're missing specific features or find bugs in evince, the better approach is to file bugs or feature requests for evince to make it usable for you too. Evince do let you print a page range though, so for a six page document, for example, you can specify 2-5 to skip the first and last pages.
