This bug was fixed today by one of the Evince developers. For details on
exactly what the fix does, see my notes here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639003#c21
The patch also works when applied to the earlier Evince source code in
the current Ubuntu 11.10. For the impatient, you can download the patch
into your home directory and apply it locally with something like:
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-devel
$ sudo apt-get build-dep evince
$ apt-get source evince
$ cd evince-3.2.1
$ patch -p1 <
~/0001-Save-always-settings-that-can-bse-saved-as-default-i.patch
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
This places the fixed Evince in "/usr/local/bin", so you should pick it
up right away. There is also a less invasive alternative to working
around the bug using a simple Bash script, available here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639003#c17
I would really like to see this fix included in the next release of
Ubuntu. I switched to Ubuntu back in 2006, and I can think of no bug
since then that has been more bothersome—even maddening—than this one.
