Hum... you should get the same message than me. Try with this:
***
gimp /home/lisi/KXTG7531-MUL.PDF
***
Close the popup window of Gimp and review the error you get in console.
Not sure what to do about this... Lenny only gets updates for security
issues and this looks like a plain and harmless (though annoying) error,
what do you people think, should I open a bug report for this? :-?
