Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
What happens:
1* A program (the email client, mutt, for instance) writes a temp file.
2* It starts evince with that document and waits for it to finish.
3* Evince notices that it's already running, tells the previous copy to open
the file in question, and exits.
4* Said program helpfully deletes the file. After all, you're obviously
finished with it ...
5* The original evince receives the message from step (3), opens a blank
document, doesn't find the file it's supposed to open, and does nothing further.
What's supposed to happen:
Either one of
* The second evince waits for feedback from the first one that the file has
been opened
* The second evince opens the file itself, and sends the file handle instead of
the file name
would work.
