I didn't argue pro or contra kviewshell or kpdf. I argued against
the artificially erected wall between viewer and editor.   :-)

(And I don't even know which one of these [or their respective

no personal Linux computer to work with and will have to be patient 
until, hopefully, in a few weeks I have access to a Linux-notebook 
again.)
