Bug#507983: kpdf: does not reopen pdf's after delete/recreate

[Timothy Reluga <treluga@math.psu.edu>]

Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-3
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I used kpdf to view pdf's I'm creating with LaTex, with
the watch-option turned on.

When a mistake appears in the LaTex code, pdflatex deletes
the old pdf version, but does not create a new version.  After
fixing the LaTex error, a new version of the pdf with the
original name is created.

kpdf chokes on this sequence of events.  Instead of automatically
reopening the new pdf with the same name, I have to manually reopen
the file using the menu.

This behavior differs from the more desirable behavior of "gv", which
automatically reopens the pdf, once it's been recreated.
