By editing 'acroread' script to run binaries under gdb you can find
the following:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xf67c55b9 in gdk_window_get_geometry () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
(gdb) where
#0  0xf67c55b9 in gdk_window_get_geometry () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
#1  0x084f4219 in _start ()


This is with gtk2-2.17.9-1.fc12.i686 and does not happen with
gtk2-2.16.5-1.fc11.i586 on Fedora 11.  I am afraid that in this
moment I cannot look at that deeper.  Maybe later if somebody is not
going to beat me to it.

Another possible problem is that for x86_64 Fedora 11, and earlier,
supply gtk2-engines.i?86 and in rawhide repositories you can find only
gtk2-engines.x86_64.  Acroread appears to be using that even if that
is not made explicit in rpm packages from Adobe.  No idea if this is
really critical.  It surely make for tons of complaints.
