And this is extremely confusing.
If you select one page only in a 10-page printout in KDE 3 and then check to
see the print preview, you see all 10 pages. I know from experience it'll
print only the pages I asked for, but I think it should be displaying only
the pages that will be printed.
In other words, the preview should happen after the page extraction. Which in
turn means that it's probably a client-side feature. Since I know that
KGhostView shows pages when I select Print Preview, I know it's still
somewhere in KDE code.
