I had this same experience. PDF files were not opening in evince.
Desktop is a nomachine client connected to neatx server. Example:
$ evince
No protocol specified
Cannot parse arguments: Cannot open display:
$
Workaround, in the same terminal as above:
$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
$
Now evince opens PDF files, e.g. from within Chromium.
Speculation that the xhost command should be added to the NX client's "Run the
following command":
E.g
xfce4-session & xhost +
HTH?
