Bug#582096: evince crashes with segfault if ~/.gnome2/evince does not exist

[Kristian Klette]

Package: evince
Version: 2.30.1-2

If the folder ~/.gnome2/evince does not exists, evince crashes with a
segfault. It does warn about not being able to create a file in the folder
when run from the commandline, but it should at least try to create the
folder.
