I'm not familiar with AUCTeX. I suppose you open the .tex file in emacs, press some key combination, then it regenerates the PDF and runs evince? If it uses the dbus interface as I suspect, you'll have to go through some extra hoops to set the environment variables. I think running something like "G_SLICE=always-malloc dbus-run-session emacs file.tex" will work. Try it by setting GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark first to see if that environment variable gets passed through to the evince process. The problem I found showed itself during document reloading. As mentioned in the bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/98786, if you open that document in evince and hold down Ctrl-R to continuously reload the document, it will crash within a few minutes.
