[poppler] Rendering hyperlinks as green rectangles

Hi - Okular renders hyperlinks as green rectangles when printing in Fedora 10. See:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180980

This is because Fedora 10 ships a very old poppler:
poppler-qt4-0.8.7-1.fc10.x86_64

Fedora don't want to update poppler because it would break the ABI:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480357

Do you think it would be at all possible to create a simple patch to fix this problem for Fedora 10 without breaking the API by upgrading to poppler-0.10?

Looking at the changelog there's something about:
        Qt4:
         * The printing flag defaults to true on PSConverter
If I change gFalse to gTrue at the end of the line here from
qt4/src/poppler-ps-converter.cc, would this fix the problem?

d->document->doc->displayPage(psOut, page, d->hDPI, d->vDPI, d->rotate, gFalse, gTrue, gFalse);




I can't see much point generating PS if you're not printing.

Thanks

Jeremy
