  3) What is expected to happen in either gnome-session-flashback
  (Metacity) or Unity opening
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1386120/+attachment/4288977/+files/test.dvi
  opens successfully.

  4) What happen instead is Evince notes perpetually "Loading", and
  either or both of evince and evince-thumbnailer get stuck with higher
  than expected CPU load (30-50% on two core system), and/or RAM
  (increasing from ~200MB on a 3GB x64 system). This is a regression
  from Ubuntu 14.04.1.

  WORKAROUND: Use xdvi from texlive-binaries:
  apt-cache policy texlive-binaries
  texlive-binaries:
