yes, the Evince library is supposed to emit a signal when you click on a link, and Denemo has a signal handler connected for it g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (Denemo.printarea), "external-link", G_CALLBACK (action_for_link), NULL); at printview.c:2779 so breaking gdb on the function action_for_link would establish that the signal is not being emitted (assuming line 2779 was executed!).
