How is lisp code run with eval-buffer different from lisp code called by
a function with respect to permissions? I mean, how can the
(dbus-call-method ...)
above work, but calling
(defun TeX-evince-sync-view ()
(dbus-call-method ...))
doesn't.
Thomas, here's something you could try as well. Inside the auctex
buffer (the TeX-master file, if you have a multi-file doc), do
M-: (let ((file (file-name-nondirectory
(file-name-sans-extension
(buffer-file-name)))))
(TeX-evince-sync-view))
Does that work?

TeX-evince-sync-view doesn't start evince in terms of start-process or
call-process. It calls a evince method via DBUS, and that will make
evince start and show the document if it doesn't already do so.
Bye,
Tassilo
I am swamped with teaching these days. I will find time to investigate
this further next week, so we can get to the bottom of this.
Thanks so far,
Thomas
