Bug#510519: evince: Reports "Unknown MIME Type" when a file doesn't actually exist

[Will Thompson]

Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-4
Severity: minor

If I run 'evince /file/does/not/exist', I get an empty Evince window
with a yellow error bar at the top, telling me:

    Unable to open document

    Unknown MIME Type

This isn't a particularly useful error message. :-) I met it when I
deleted the wrong file while opening the others on my desktop. It should
at least mention the name of the file.
