Thanks for info. It looks like the bug was resolved long time ago, so how come it is not resolved on my machine which has the latest gnome and latest cairo versions?
because it's a poppler problem, look at this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8944 Try again with poppler from CVS HEAD :-)
Indeed, version from CVS works...:) I am going to fill a bug in Ubuntu's bugzilla system, they should have it patched long time ago...
