Title:
  Evince crashes (segfault) under Unity with a custom theme

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have created a custom theme -- a trivial derivation of Ubuntu
  11.10's stock Ambiance them, with the only changes being changing the
  selection color from orange to blue (1 color change in 3 files) -- and
  everything works fine except that evince crashes with a segfault.

  I have run strace on evince -- attached -- of which the last four
  lines are:

  access("/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css", F_OK) = 0
  open("/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
  --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

  All the relevant directories (/home, /home/morse,
  /home/morse/.themes/, etc.) are either mode 755 or 700, files are mode
  600,  and all have uid/gid that is my account.

  So, I'm quite puzzled as to why evince is getting a permission denied
  error, and even more so as to why this would result in a segfault.

  Any help most appreciated, as I use evince all the time and it's
  rather annoying having to change my theme back to "Ambiance" just to
  get evince to work, whereas all other apps I've used since upgrading
  to 11.10 work just fine with my slightly customized theme.

  Thanks.
