Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
This is related to Evince/Document Viewer (2.28.1) on Karmic.
Trying to a open .tif file with Evince fails with the message "Unable to open
document - Error opening file: Permission denied".
Relevant dmesg lines:
[ 1942.288959] type=1503 audit(1256922544.460:88): operation="open" pid=7119

This seems to be caused by the evince apparmor profile, since both
a) renaming the file to .tiff and
b) adding the line "/**.[tT][iI][fF][fF] rw," to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
solves the problem.
Since .tif is a common (valid?) extension for .tiff files, should the
apparmor profiles be changed? Or is something else causing this?
