Hello Hib. I'm impressed!
On point 3, specifically, I'm thinking in two improvements: 1. The installer could offer the typical pre-checked checkbox "Use Evince as default application for PDF files" or what the exact string should be. 2. Browsers could include Evince among the recommended applications for opening a PDF file when the user asks for it. Firefox has the "Choose Helper Application" dialog and IE has the generic "Open with" dialog. I don't have a clue on how this can be implemented, so I don't know whether the solution is the same for both browsers or is not. Prioritizing, I think the improvement 1 is the most important, and hopefully the easiest to implement. Thank you!
