The bug: $HOME/.xpdfrc was being ignored, and xresources were being ignored and c/line args were being ignored.
This Worked For Me As Follows(tm). First, you need to determine *which* files are being read by xpdf. I ran xpdf (no arguments) in strace and redirected all output to a file: $ strace xpdf &> traceoutput I then grepped the file for all "open" system calls with xpdf $ grep "open" traceoutput | grep xpdf >From that I was able to determine that /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc was being opened. You may have a different xpdfrc file getting opened, but I guarantee that *some* xpdfrc is being opened, and using strace you will find it. Once you find it, put this line into it right at the end: include #HOME/.xpdfrc Now create $HOME/.xpdfrc and put your settings into it. Rerunning strace xpdf now shows an "open" system call with my $HOME/.xpdfrc getting opened.
