Evince was hidden from the menu before, and unity seems to honor the
"NoDisplay=True" setting. It has been debated upstream (see the linked bug
report) whether this is reasonable for the Gnome Shell. I'm marking it as
"Opinion" for now because it is a rather fundamental question, whether this is
really be a bug or not -- maybe someone from the Ubuntu desktop team can
comment on what the consensus is on this... A similar bug report has been
closed as invalid a long time ago
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/123397), but maybe we
should think about it again for unity because I do not see any disadvantage in
being able to start evince from the dash (in contrast to classic Gnome where it
adds clutter to the menu).
The question is: What is the usecase for opening evince directly? Correct me if
I'm wrong but the only one I'm seeing is using the "recent documents" entry in
the file menu -- in contrast to many other applications that you can start
directly, you can't for example create a new document in evince. With all the
zeitgeist goodness this should not be needed anymore because you can access the
recent documents directly from the dash.
BTW: All this applies to other applications as well, most notably the
shotwell image viewer and eog.
** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu)
