No, it's rather easy. The preferences will change a little. In the  
"general" pane, you will have the possibility to chose teh defaults  
color, font size, and mode, and in the "service" pane, the check box  
"use this color/font if not possible" will disappear, replaced by a  
label "otherwise, use default color/font"

Nice. So I will make refresh occur only on "latexize" event. I don't  
think it is agood idea to make it if the user close the window, since  
he was perhaps trying to get rid of the linkback link !

Mmm.... more difficult. I will investigate it.

Why not ? Ok.

yes, I also noticed that. It occurs at every latexization, when I am  
creating a Cocoa PDFDocument with the pdf file generated by pdfLatex.  
I noticed that I can get rid of this warning if i first convert the  
pdf file to another pdf file using ghostscript. But I think it is not  
necessary (it would just waste time), since this warning seems not to  
generate any problem. But I should have documented that in "Know issues"
