Thanks.  That's what I was looking for, I guess it's not a path issue. 
Here's the process listing I see: 

baphomet:[/usr/home/acowell] while true ; do ps waux | egrep pdf | egrep
-v grep ; done 
acowell  19942  0.0  0.4  2028  912 ?        R    12:18   0:00 sh -c
/usr/bin/xpdf
/tmp/evolution-1000-19608/evolution.mOhFoB/EWCBG03_215483\EWCBG03_215483.PDF & 

Run by hand with single ticks around '/usr/bin/xpdf /tmp/...83.PDF', it
works just fine.  Launched from evolution, though, xpdf doesn't pop up
and evidently the process immediately dies.  I tried running a strace
-f, and just don't see it calling the shell or xpdf.  The output is at
http://www.cowell.org/~andy/out.txt .  There are two fork calls, but the
child in both just connects to a socket under /tmp/orbit?  I'm not
familiar with gnome at all, so maybe I'm missing something obvious
here.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
