Package: evince
Version: 2.24.2-2
Severity: grave

The new evince doesn't work at all anymore.  First of all, it takes
ages to start (even if I don't specify a document on the command
line), and when it's started, the UI doesn't function anymore (menus
don't work, I can't scoll or go to the next page) and the only way to
quit is by killing it.  At startup, strace show that it's waiting for
some dbus thingy:

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 7
connect(7, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/tmp/dbus-SzwEn5eSpJ"}, 23) = 0
[...]
read(7, "l\2\1\1\t\0\0\0\3\0\0\0=\0\0\0\6\1s\0\5\0\0\0:1.42\0\0\0"..., 2048) = 89
read(7, 0x7085c0, 2048)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
writev(7, [{"l\1\1\1\210\0\0\0\3\0\0\0\177\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"..., 144}, {"\203\0\0\0type='signal',sender='org.fr"..., 136}], 2) = 280
writev(7, [{"l\1\1\1z\0\0\0\4\0\0\0\177\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"..., 144}, {"u\0\0\0type='signal',sender=':1.3',"..., 122}], 2) = 266
writev(7, [{"l\1\0\1\20\0\0\0\5\0\0\0\230\0\0\0\1\1o\0#\0\0\0/org/gno"..., 168}, {"\6\0\0\0Evince\0\0\1\0\0\0", 16}], 2) = 184
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}])
read(7, "l\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\4\0\0\0005\0\0\0\6\1s\0\5\0\0\0:1.42\0\0\0"..., 2048) = 144
read(7, 0x7085c0, 2048)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000^C <unfinished ...>

After which it hangs for a long time.  After it has then started, it hangs on
polls like these:

poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 10, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
writev(7, [{"l\1\0\1\20\0\0\0\f\0\0\0\230\0\0\0\1\1o\0#\0\0\0/org/gno"..., 168}, {"\6\0\0\0Evince\0\0\1\0\0\0", 16}], 2) = 184
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000

or

poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}], 10, -1



Downgrading to the 2.22 version in testing makes evince functional
again.
