I have not found a single file that will work with kghostview since version 2.1 (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
I have also experienced this problem in my current configuration. The PDF viewer that came with Mandrake Linux 8.0's KDE seemed to work. Unfortunately Adobe's install of their Linux version of Acrobat Reader leaves something to be desired... kghostview 0.12 KDE 2.2.1 Linus (i686) release 2.4.8-26mdk gcc ver. 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake-Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk)
Given the bug's age and lack of precision instruction to trigger it off (I can certainly view postscripts and pdfs), I am closing with WORKSFORME.
