I just noticed something strange concerning the 10s hang when  
invocating the "Show in PDFViewer (pdfsync)" command. I commented out  
one paragraph in my Latex document and then hit the above command.  
After the usual 10s delay, Skim opened and showed me the  
corresponding section, *without* the part of the text I just  
commented out *without* having typeset the document before. So it  
must have somehow typeset the document in the background. I double- 
checked this behaviour by un-commenting the line again. And again,  
after running the command, the paragraph was there again, set in the  
PDF. I don't suppose this command should set the document in the  
background, does it? Only jump to the location in the PDF.

Yours, Oliver
