Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

Evince can't open compressed PDFs because apparmor doesn't let it
execute bzip2.

[172782.885301] type=1503 audit(1257885293.523:55): operation="exec"
pid=22803 parent=22802 profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="::x"
denied_mask="::x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/bin/bzip2"

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a compressed PDF (e.g. 
http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/user-account3.pdf.bz2)
2. Double-click on it in nautilus
3. Evince starts and complains about not being able do execute bzip2 
(permission denied)

Nautilus also doesn't provide an option to extract the file, so most
users probably can't open those files unless they know how to do it
manually.
