You're right.  Moving the desktop entry out of the way doesn't make any 
difference.  It's just coincidence that I first noticed it after making 
that change.

In the meantime, I have another xpdf problem.  After my update of the 
ghostscript fonts, I get the following errors when starting xpdf:

Config Error: No display font for 'Courier'
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier-Bold'
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier-BoldOblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier-Oblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Bold'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-BoldOblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Oblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Symbol'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-Bold'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-BoldItalic'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-Italic'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-Roman'
Config Error: No display font for 'ZapfDingbats'

Reinstalling the old ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11-1 fixes it.  Copying the 
files from /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35 to /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts 
doesn't fix it.

Do you happen to know how Fedora handles this?  I didn't see anything 
obvious in xpdf.spec.
