Impact
------
- Many mono apps don't run in cosmic. Although mono apps aren't as popular or
as well-maintained as they used to be, this is still bad.
+ Many mono apps don't run in cosmic when run from a terminal. Although mono
apps aren't as popular or as well-maintained as they used to be, this is still
bad.

(or reboot).
Install pdfmod.
