Bug#583973: problem between evince and dbus

[Oleg Broytman]

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 2.30.3-2
Severity: normal


evince, when started from the command line, emits

** (evince:6789): WARNING **: Setting attribute metadata::evince::sidebar_visibility not supported

and doesn't (re)store settings (window size, sidebar, page, etc). I've
found a way to work around the problem by running

$ dbus-launch --exit-with-session evince file.pdf

With this evince properly stores and restores settings. IWBN if evince
connects to session bus itself. Is it a problem in my configuration
(Debian 6.0 squeeze, no DE, Xorg+fwvm2, evince-gtk), in squeeze or in
upstream evince?
