As you use evince, you may be a gnome user, so this might not help you. I recently had all my kde associations and (very surprisingly) a number of others from other DEs go scrambled. Rebuilding kdelibs fixed all of it. I never did figure out how this could occur. Possibly it's something to do with DEs converging on freedesktop.org standards, so an oopsie in one can have system-wide side0effects. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
