Even just from the README file I can see that this is a seriously messed up situation. Maybe the GTK folks should have checked with a few more people before going of on their own private tangent. Fortunately, in my case, evince seems to be the one and only tool that I'm likely to use that has this issue. So I guess I'll just learn to live with it in that one case.
