Hi Jamie,

Thanks for the help, although I'm not sure the actions you propose will
fix the problem.  /local/stores/morse is just a place I store large
files on a separate partition and has nothing to do with evince.  I
relocate /usr/local to /srv/system/usr/local, a separate parition, and
create a symlink so as to preserve /usr/local contents across fresh
installs (which I typically perform instead of dist upgrades).  The only
way I think /usr/local -> /srv/system/usr/local could be involved is
that /usr/local/share/mime/mime.cache appears to be used by evince.  Why
mime.cache is kept on /usr/local by debian / ubuntu is a mystery to me;
it's the one file that has prevented me from unmount /usr/local in the
past on previous installs -- by convention and perhaps by POSIX
standards, the OS should not by definition and by default not have any
dependencies on /usr/local, but that's another matter and not that big a
deal. :)

At any rate, I'm using evince fine since moving my trivial theme
customizations from $HOME/.themes to /usr/share/themes
($HOME=/home/morse, on a separate /home partition; $HOME !=
/local/morse) and I appreciate the all the help.  So, the main issue is
resolved -- that I wasn't able to use evince at the time.  However, I do
believe that the theme customization issue remains unresolved (i.e., I
shouldn't have to / it's "bad form" to change files in /usr/share), but
that's another bug for another time. :)

Thanks again and best wishes,
Doug
