Package: evince
Version: 2.30.1-2
Severity: important

On a freshly installed squeeze system, I ran evince for the first time 
(not under GNOME) and got:


** (evince:27190): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for 
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 
'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

** (evince:27190): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error 
opening file '/home/mgoetze/.gnome2/evince/last_settings': No such file 
or directory

[1]    27190 segmentation fault  evince /tmp/vl12.ps


After I ran "mkdir ~/.gnome2/evince" and tried again, evince worked as 
expected.
