Last spring I had a question about xpdf's file picker. Fabio has just emailed me the following solution. I'm reposting it here in case anyone else has this problem:

If your distro uses the OpenMotif implementation, you just have to add the following line to your ~/.Xdefaults file: *fileFilterStyle: filter_hidden_files Then either restart your X server or run xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults The next time you start XPdf you will not see hidden files in the file dialogs. If you use another implementation of Motif, (lesstif, ...), use the following command to know how to filter hidden files: man XmFileSelectionBox -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
