I think that npviewer.bin is the appropriate viewer, but it is
complaining that it can't find or can't load libXcompasite.so.1.
Makes me wonder if libXcomposite is now on version 2, or is no longer
installed.

I remember getting very bad error messages while trying to get
nspluginwrapper working.  I can't recall what I did that solved it.  I
think I just had to look really hard for the right packages.
