Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

It seems to be impossible to get two evince windows with the same PDF
file open in them.

Both obvious ways to do this fail:

  - clicking the file/running evince with the file as argument does /not/ open 
a second window
  - running evince, and then opening the same file does nothing -- the second 
window stays blank, or document-less, so to speak.

This can be circumvented, more or less expectedly, by symlinking the file and 
supplying evince that symlink,
however, this is obviously suboptimal.
