RE: "To Scroll a Page" error
---
I have found the middle mouse button can also be used to scroll a page
(along with holding the left and the right mouse button). I assume that a
single left mouse button could in theory also perform this function. Is this
funtion in compiled code - is there an easy way to change this? According to
the Evince manual (Evince - Help - Contents - Usage - 3.3 To Scroll a Page)
there appears to be no such requirement to have to use a non-standard button
for this function. (I would argue Gimps usage of this also non-standard). I
suggest that Evince is changed to allow the user to scroll with the primary
mouse button if they wish to. (Note this is possible with other main stream
pdf viewers - Adobe Acrobat 7.08 and KPDF. Note this is a critical function
for users without an actual mouse - Eg touch screen users).
Thanks for your help.

RE: Additional Evince Features

I have worked out how to set up the Additional Evince Features I requested
earlier (although the second solution only works by chance) - possibly we
could still look at integrating these changes into Evince?
1. The ability to add a Rotate Left and Rotate Right button onto the main
toolbar
2. If possible allow the user to enable/disable the Menu Bar
