Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu Intrepid
Evince version: 2.24.1

Evince should not require this access. Even if you put a local
evince.desktop in your .local/share/applications, evince still requires
access to the /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop. Other applications
act normally, even without access to /usr/share/applications.

Steps to reproduce:
1. chmod o-r /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop
2. start 'evince'

Actual results:
you will get this error: "Could not load desktop file 
'/usr/share/applications/evince.desktop': Permission denied
Segmentation fault"

Expected results:
evince to work

Does this happen every time?
yes
