Re-opening the bug after a long break...
When a document is on the recently opened items list that is on an auto-
mounted CIFS share that is not available, evince will hang indefinitely.
If the CIFS share is available, automounter is stopped, or the file was
deleted (and the CIFS share is available) there is no issue.
I get hit with this issue quite often (almost daily). I've actually made
myself a little wrapper script to clear out the recent files before it
launches evince.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up an automounting CIFS share.
2. Open PDF document on the CIFS share with evince.
3. Close evince.
4. Pull network cable (make the share unavailable).
5. Try opening evince.
At this point, evince will appear not to launch. If you try launching it again
with strace, you should see it hung up trying to stat the previously opened pdf
document.
** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu)
