evince problem (doesn't remember defaults)

[Danny Yee]

Upgrading from F12 to F13 was really smooth, but there a couple of
very annoying regressions.

Every time I open a PDF using evince (document viewer), I get a small
window in the top left of my screen, which I have to resize to be
usable.  It's also set to "best width" instead of "best fit", so
I
have to change that as well.  My new settings aren't remembered for
the next invocation of evince.  A zero length file is being created in
~/.gnome2/evince/last_settings.

Any advice on how to fix this?  I'm not running GNOME or KDE - I'm
using a lightweight stand-alone window-manager (9wm).

Danny.

This appears to have been fixed upstream
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606090
So it should be possible to get the Fedora maintainer to update with the fix.

I've created a bug in the RH bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626410

Same behavior here using Gnome + F13.

Hi!

I have a similar problem: every time evince starts, it does with a
large window (which cover my wm panel bar) which I have to resize.

I'm running F13 with openbox (and with gnome-settings-daemon running
in background).

Under F12 had no problem.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Best,
