I am no longer working in this installation of Ubuntu that had the bug.
It was reported as a factual bug in that I could find no reason why
PDFs, connected by extension to open in Evince, were not being opened
unless I started Evince and opened them with File:Open. I tried
disassociating & re-associating PDF extensions to Evince without any
success for point-and-click opening in the Ubuntu 11.04 derivative it
appeared in, which had by default hidden the Evince menu link. Let's
hope derivatives of Ubuntu 12.04 are free of this bug.
