Title:
  evince hangs on start-up

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Evince is hanging when trying to open a pdf.  After a delay of at
  least 10 seconds (sometimes much more), with no cpu load, it resumes.
  The pdf file is present and on local filestore.

  I ran strace and the hang coincides with
  read(7, 0x9e48540, 2048)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
  See below for more strace output.

  
  Next  I tried dbus-launch:
  $ dbus-launch evince PIIS1097276509006418.pdf 

  ** (evince:24621): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for
  org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name
  'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

  
  But I don't know what that means and if it is related. 

  This has become such a pain, I use xpdf now.
