Nope, it's not there until after I paste it into the editor.

I think I messed-up a config file when I last did an etc-update (although I 
thought I was being extra careful this time - there's always something that 
goes wrong.) When I open the file with kghostscript, and allow it to show me 
the errors, the specific file I'm looking at has no errors to report and it 
shows up nicely.

On a different PDF there are lots of errors and still doesn't display the PDF 
100% correctly, but its as close as I've had it in over a week now. I've 
pasted the error below, but I can't make head nor tail out of it.
