FYI, the last upstream author told me:
 "In general, GNOME Is moving away from bonobo in favor of dbus. Please
  file feature requests for evince in bugzilla.gnome.org, if it is lacking
  in any necessary features that were present in GGV."

I don't know if there will be a mozilla-dbus package then.. :)
Would the lack of ggv-bonobo be bad enough to file a bug report against
evince and ask for evince-bonobo?
