Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evince
What happens: 1* A program (the email client, mutt, for instance) writes a temp file. 2* It starts evince with that document and waits for it to finish. 3* Evince notices that it's already running, tells the previous copy to open the file in question, and exits. 4* Said program helpfully deletes the file. After all, you're obviously finished with it ... 5* The original evince receives the message from step (3), opens a blank document, doesn't find the file it's supposed to open, and does nothing further. What's supposed to happen: Either one of * The second evince waits for feedback from the first one that the file has been opened * The second evince opens the file itself, and sends the file handle instead of the file name would work.
