I find Evince to be functional, but at least in Saucy, I agree that the
menus are displeasing, with many items in gray text on black background,
making them appear inactive.
And at least in its GUI, I find no way to enable a traditional menu
bar. (Not terribly disturbing, since other apps are migrating away from
that, though perhaps offering it as a non-default option.)
But maybe Rafael is saying that, at least for upcoming Trusty, he has
the existing menu items displaying nicely.

Thank you guys for all these tips. Eric Bradshaw's tweak managed to
make the menus readable again, but still the traditional textual menus
(upper left: File/Edit/View...) are replaced by two unlabeled buttons
upper right, quite different from all other applications. So I decided
to turn to Atril (as a fork probably 99% equal to evince anyway).
Removing Lubuntu-desktop proved harmless, at least for now...

I've already fixed the menus and they're fine now. The bug is gone.
And in Trusty, Evince has less buttons. We tested before other
solutions and Evince is not so resource-hungry, it respects image
standards (colour profiles, icc resampling, anti-aliasing, etc) more
than any other solution that, unfortunately, use "strange" UI
solutions (FLTK, non-GTK, etc).

lubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage and doesn't actually contain
anything itself. You should be able to remove it without affecting
much. You can try a dry run with --simulate in apt-get
sudo apt-get --simulate remove evince
and that will show you what will get changed without actually
changing it.
