The short answer is: yes.

Alternatively, you can insert the (eventually edited) "export" lines into
the appropriate files, so that the GUI runs with an environment in which
the LD_PRELOAD variable is correctly set.
Clicking on an icon to launch firefox should then have the same effect of
using the sample "run_firefox.sh" script.
At the same time, the Acrobat reader icon should work (but only if you
replaced the executables with the ones obtained by compilation of the last
version of source code; previous versions of my program did not correctly
handle the standalone reader).

Kernel changes should not affect the workaround code; however, changes in
Acrobat Reader's version and/or in the desktop manager you use, could do
so..
